Bloomer Evolution
The defect
Bloomer trailers manufacturing incorporated (bloomer) IS recalling certain model year 2012 evolution gooseneck 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.

Bloomer has notified all owners, and dexter has replaced the actuators, free of charge, therefore, an owner notification notice will not be issued for this campaign. owners may contact bloomer trailers at 1-800-390-6377.
