What is wrong
Elite Trailer Manufacturing is recalling certain model year 2012 Livestock Gooseneck trailers manufactured November 17, 2011, through January 17, 2012. These vehicles are equipped with Carlisle hydraulic brake actuators. One of the rotating components in the hydraulic brake pump missed a heat treating operation causing the actuator to wear at a higher than normal rate. As a result, the hydraulic pump could fail and result in a loss of braking ability in the trailer.
What can happen
Loss of braking ability can lead to loss of control of the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash, serious injuries, or property damage.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Elite Trailer has notified all affected owners and dealers have replaced all of the defective actuators. Owners may contact Elite Trailer at 1-800-657-7305.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
