Doosan Portable Power: Portable Generator Trailers Recalled Due to Potential Brake Failure

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Doosan Portable Power is recalling approximately 1,799 Portable Generator Trailers from model years 2019 through 2023. The trailers were manufactured with the electric brake harness incorrectly connected to the battery disconnect switch instead of the battery's distribution lug, causing the brakes to lose power when the switch is in the 'off' position. This defect prevents the brakes from engaging during towing, significantly increasing the risk of a crash. Owners should immediately stop towing these trailers until an authorized dealer can correct the wiring for free.

Risk

The incorrectly wired harness de-energizes the trailer's braking system whenever the battery disconnect switch is off. Because the brakes will not engage without power, the trailer cannot assist in stopping, which can lead to a loss of control and a collision. Owners are advised not to tow or operate these trailers on public roads until the recall repair is completed.

What You Should Do

  1. Stop towing this trailer immediately and park it until the recall repair has been completed to prevent the risk of a crash.
  2. Identify if your equipment is an affected 2019-2023 Doosan Portable Generator Trailer by checking the manufacturer plate or your purchase records.
  3. Contact Doosan customer service at 1-800-633-5200 to schedule a free repair; dealers will correctly rewire the brake harness to the positive distribution lug.
  4. Refer to Doosan's internal recall number 12-23-8 when speaking with customer service or your local dealer.
