EQUIPTER RB4000
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
New Heights LLC is recalling certain Equipter RB4000 dump trailers manufactured between December 8, 2011, and December 21, 2011, due to a defect in the Carlisle hydraulic brake actuators. A rotating component in the hydraulic pump was not properly heat-treated, causing it to wear faster than normal and potentially fail, which could result in complete loss of braking ability in the trailer.
Loss of braking ability could cause the trailer to become uncontrollable, increasing the risk of crashes, serious injuries, or property damage. To remedy this issue, New Heights will notify owners and dealers will replace the hydraulic pump actuators at no cost. Owners should contact New Heights at 1-717-768-0070 to arrange the replacement.
