My unit came with the Actibrake actuator and was replaced prior to the recall with a Carlisle unit. The actibrake unit actually melted the plastic housing allowing all the brake fluid to run out into the basement compartment, and causing me to have total brake failure while I was on a week long trip. I was able to make it back home with just the truck brakes. The Carlisle unit is all metal and should not melt down in the future. I have not pulled 5ver since it was replaced. So far I have not really been impressed with the disc brake system and I have my doubts that the intregrated braking built in my Ford is
adequate and may have to go with another brake controller.
