Defect. Charles Machine Works Inc. (Charles Machine) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Ditch Witch T14MV trailers manufactured December 1, 2014, to June 22, 2015. The affected trailers may have an incorrect wiring harness that would result in the brakes not applying should the trailer breakway from the tow vehicle.

Risk. If the brakes do not activate in the event of a trailer breakaway, there would be an increased risk of a crash.

Remedy. Charles Machine will notify owners, and dealers will correct the pin locations in the trailer harness connector, free of charge. The recall began on July 24, 2015. Owners may contact Charles Machine customer service at 1-800-654-6481. Charles Machine's number for this recall is ID0388109.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
