The problem
Anderson manufacturing, inc. (Anderson) is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2011 gooseneck trailers equipped with dexter electric/hydraulic (E/h) brake actuator pumps.

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.
The fix
Anderson will notify owners, and dexter will replace the actuators, free of charge. The safety recall began on june 25, 2012. Owners may contact anderson manufacturing at 1-229-336-5800.
