What is wrong
Magic Tilt Trailers is recalling certain boat trailers manufactured October 17, 2011, through January 24, 2012. These trailers are equipped with brake actuators manufactured by Carlisle. On some of the pumps, one of the rotating components in the hydraulic pump for the brakes may have missed a heat treat 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.
Magic Tilt Trailers will notify owners, and dealers will replace the actuators on the trailers, free of charge. The recall began on June 15, 2013. Owners may contact Magic Tilt Trailers at 1-800-998-8458.

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.
