Defect. 4-Star Trailers, Inc. (4-Star) is recalling certain 2012-2016 Gooseneck Horse trailers. The hydraulic brake line may rupture where it connects to the brake caliper, resulting in a brake fluid leak and a loss of braking.

Risk. If the hydraulic brake line ruptures there may be a loss of brake power, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. 4-Star will notify owners, and dealers will change the brake line compression fitting to a banjo fitting, free of charge. The recall began on March 14, 2017. Owners may contact 4-Star customer service at 1-800-848-3095.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
