What's wrong?
The hydraulic trailer brake pump on a 2012 Crossroads Redwood recreational vehicle is part of the trailer's brake system. Its job is to create hydraulic pressure so the trailer brakes apply when the tow vehicle calls for braking. That pressure helps the trailer slow with the tow vehicle instead of pushing from behind.
On affected Redwood recreational vehicles, the pump can fail. When that happens, the trailer brake system loses the hydraulic pressure it needs to apply the brakes. The recall filing does not identify a separate internal cause for the pump failure, so the important point for an owner is the result: the trailer loses braking assistance from the hydraulic pump.
There is no warning sign before failure. If the pump stops working while the trailer is being towed, the tow vehicle is left doing more of the stopping work, and the trailer takes longer to slow.

What's the safety risk?
A loss of trailer braking can lead to loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash, serious injuries, or property damage. There is no listed warning sign, so use caution if the trailer must be moved and schedule the recall repair soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Crossroads dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2012 Crossroads Redwood is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Crossroads dealer to ask about the free hydraulic trailer brake pump replacement.
- Reference recall number 12V050 when you call so the dealer can match the repair to your trailer.
- Bring the recall notice if Crossroads mailed one to you.
- Tow cautiously until the repair is complete, and leave extra stopping distance because the trailer brake pump can fail and reduce braking.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Crossroads technician replaces the hydraulic trailer brake pump covered by recall 12V050. The repair removes the pump named in the recall and installs the replacement pump specified by Crossroads, so the trailer braking system is no longer relying on the recalled pump. Crossroads says the hydraulic pump replacement is free of charge. Once Crossroads confirms the remedy for your VIN, parts and labor are covered under the recall.
