EZ LOADER IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012 EZ LOADER BOAT TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH A CARLISLE HYDRASTAR BRAKE ACTUATOR. ONE OF THE ROTATING COMPONENTS IN THE HYDRAULIC PUMP MISSED A HEAT TREAT OPERATION CAUSING THE ACTUATOR TO WEAR AT A HIGHER THAN NORMAL RATE. AS A RESULT, THE HYDRAULIC PUMP COULD FAIL AND RESULT IN A LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY IN THE TRAILER.
LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TRAILER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH, SERIOUS INJURIES, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
