Problem: Newmar is recalling one model year 2012 kountry aire fw and one model year 2012 kountry star fw fifth wheel trailers equipped with dexter electric/hydraulic (e/h) brake actuator pumps. some of these pumps may not have been properly heat treated. this condition can cause premature wear of some critical components in these pumps which can render the unit inoperable.
Risk: 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.
Fix: Newmar will notify owners, and dexter will replace the actuators, free of charge. newmar has not yet provided a notification schedule. owners may contact newmar at 1-574-773-2007.
