The short version

ALUMINA, INC reported a problem with the equipment. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

Alumina, Inc., dba Boatwheels, is recalling a model year 2011 PB27-TH1200 and a 2011 PB36-RS2100 trailer each equipped with a Dexter Axle brand electric/hydraulic (E/H) brake actuator pump. These pumps may not have been properly heat treated.

WHY IT MATTERS

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.

WHAT TO DO

Alumina will notify owners, and Alumina dealers will replace the actuators, free of charge.
