Summary

Multiquip, Inc. is recalling 43 of its 2024 WTE5C and WTE5HP trailers because of a major electrical wiring defect. The trailer's brakes may activate unexpectedly or fail to work entirely when the turn signal is used, which is caused by the turn signal and electric brakes being incorrectly wired together. Owners of these trailers should contact a Multiquip dealer to have the wiring inspected and repaired at no cost.

Risk

The incorrect wiring can cause the brakes to lock up or fail to engage while driving, which significantly increases the danger of a crash or loss of control on the road.

  3. Schedule a free inspection and repair with an authorized dealer, who will correct the wiring between the turn signal and the electric brake system.
