2025–2026 Fontaine Forklift Trailer HCIFL12SAT, Fontaine Forklift Trailer HCIFL82CTA: Service Brakes, Air recall
NHTSA campaign 25V560000 · 35 units potentially affected · filed Aug 29, 2025
What's wrong
Fontaine Trailer Company (Fontaine Trailer) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Fontaine HCIFL12SAT and HCIFL82CTA forklift trailers. The auto lift axle cables may not be installed in the correct ports, which can disable the anti-lock brake system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Why it matters
Driving without a functioning anti-lock brake system may result in the trailer not braking as intended, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Fontaine Trailer will rewire the cable connections, free of charge. Owners may contact Fontaine Trailer customer service at 1-800-821-6535, option 5.
