Electrical System

Filed Nov 16, 2013OR

WIRING FOR ELECTRIC BRAKES WAS IMPROPERLY ROUTED AND THE WIRES WERE NOT PROPERLY RESTRAINED. THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS OVER TIME RUBBING ON THE TIRE WORE THROUGH THE INSULATION BREAKING THE WIRE CONNECTION CAUSING THE TRAILER BRAKES TO FAIL. DOING MY INITIAL START UP TEST OF MY BRAKE CONTROLLER I FOUND THE TRAILER BRAKES NOT WORKING. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I FOUND THE WIRES RUBBED THROUGH FROM RUBBING ON THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE. I REPAIRED THE CONNECTION AND PROPERLY RESTRAINED THE WIRES. HAD I NEEDED THESE BRAKES TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD THEY WOULD HAVE FAILED WITH POTENTIALLY SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. NOTIFIED MANUFACTURER, NO RESPONSE. *TR

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.
