The short answer

NHTSA received CARLISLE BRAKE AND FRICTION COMPANY’s report on Feb 1, 2012. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY CAN LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TRAILER, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH, SERIOUS INJURIES, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

CARLISLE BRAKE AND FRICTION COMPANY IS RECALLING CERTAIN HYDRASTAR AND HYDRASTAR XL TRAILER BRAKE ACTUATORS PRODUCED FROM OCTOBER 5, 2011, THROUGH DECEMBER 9, 2011.

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.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
