Ameritrail, Inc.(Ameritrail) is recalling certain model year 2011 Ranch King GN24-21E, GN36-25D42, GN40-21D42, and MFDD36-242 trailers equipped with certain Carlisle Hydrastar and Hydrastar XL trailer brake actuators. One of the rotating components in the hydraulic pump for the brake actuator missed a heat treating 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.
