Defect. Texas Pride Trailers (Texas Pride) is recalling certain model year 2012 DTFLB trailers, equipped with Dexter Axle brand electric/hydraulic (E/H) brake actuator pumps. Some of these pumps may not have been properly heat treated. This condition can cause premature wear of some critical components in these pumps which can render the unit inoperable.

Risk. The E/H brake actuator provides braking power to the trailer brakes. Failure of the actuator can result in the loss of braking effort by the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Texas Pride will notify owners, and Dexter Axle dealers will replace the actuators, free of charge. The safety recall began on July 17, 2012. Owners may contact Texas Pride Trailers at 1-936-349-6038, or Dexter Axle at 1-800-400-2164.

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.
