    Equipment

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Aluminum trailer company (atc) is recalling certain model year 2012 rsx gooseneck and quest (qst) car haulers equipped with a dexter axle brand electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pump. This pump may not have been properly heat treated. This condition can cause premature wear of some critical components in this pump which can render the unit inoperable.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    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, in the NHTSA record
    Atc will notify owners and dexter axle dealers will replace the electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pumps, free of charge. Atc has not provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact atc at 1-877-441-2440.

    Trailer Hitches

    Defect, in the NHTSA record
    Aluminum trailer company (atc) is recalling certain model year 2007-2012 atc car hauler trailers with extended hitches manufactured from december 1, 2006 through september 16, 2011. These trailers with 12" extended hitch frames are breaking near the front cross member on the frame of the trailer. This is caused by insufficient material used in the frame hitch.
    Consequence, in the NHTSA record
    The hitch could potentially break causing separation from the towing vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of loss of control and posing a risk of personal injury and property damage.
    Remedy, in the NHTSA record
    Atc will repair the aluminum trailer hitch free of charge. The safety recall began on november 10, 2011. Owners may contact atc at 1-877-441-2440.
