Service Brakes

Filed Aug 22, 2020AZ

THE WIRING FOR THE ELECTRIC BRAKES IS ROUTED BETWEEN THE AXLE U-BOLTS AND THE FRAME. ANY BUMPS OR POTHOLES THAT CAUSE THE AXLE TO MOVE WILL SEVER THE WIRES AND REMOVE ALL TRAILER BRAKING. I PURCHASED A NEW TRAILER ON 8/12/2020 AND THE BRAKES FAILED ON THE FIRST USE. THE MAIN WIRE IS VISIBLY CRUSHED AND SEVERED REMOVING THE BRAKING CAPABILITY FROM BOTH AXLES. THE PHOTO SHOWS THAT THE WIRING WAS FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO BE ROUTED IN THIS LOCATION.*DT CONSUMER SAYS THAT DAMAGED WIRES ARE LOCATED ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL. HE SAYS THE CARGO ADDED WEIGHED WAS JUST UNDER 3500 LBS, WHICH IS L BELOW THE 7000 LB TRAILER RATING. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. *DL

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.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
