Is my product affected?

MAGIC TILT BOAT TRAILER

  • Brand MAGIC TILT

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Magic Tilt Trailers is recalling certain boat trailers manufactured between October 17, 2011, and January 24, 2012, that are equipped with Carlisle brake actuators. Some of these actuators contain a rotating component in the hydraulic pump that may have skipped a heat treat operation during manufacturing, causing the actuator to wear faster than normal and potentially fail.

If the hydraulic pump fails, the trailer could lose braking ability, which increases the risk of losing control of the trailer and potentially causing a crash, serious injuries, or property damage. Magic Tilt Trailers will notify owners and dealers will replace the actuators free of charge. Owners of affected trailers should contact Magic Tilt Trailers at 1-800-998-8458.

Details from the source

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.
