2025-2026 Fontaine HCIFL12SAT and HCIFL82CTA Trailers Recalled for ABS Defect

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Fontaine Trailer Company is recalling approximately 35 forklift trailers, specifically the 2025-2026 HCIFL12SAT and HCIFL82CTA models. The auto lift axle cables in these trailers may have been installed in the wrong ports, which can disable the anti-lock brake system (ABS). If the ABS is not functioning, the trailer may not brake as intended, which increases the risk of a crash. Fontaine Trailer will rewire the cable connections for free to correct the issue.

Risk

Incorrect cable installation can disable the trailer's anti-lock brake system. This failure means the vehicle does not comply with federal safety standards for air brake systems and may cause the trailer to brake unpredictably, significantly increasing the likelihood of an accident.
