NEWMAR IS RECALLING ONE MODEL YEAR 2012 KOUNTRY AIRE FW AND ONE MODEL YEAR 2012 KOUNTRY STAR FW FIFTH WHEEL TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH DEXTER ELECTRIC/HYDRAULIC (E/H) BRAKE ACTUATOR PUMPS. SOME OF THESE PUMPS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY HEAT TREATED. THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR OF SOME CRITICAL COMPONENTS IN THESE PUMPS WHICH CAN RENDER THE UNIT INOPERABLE.
