The problem
ON CERTAIN TRAILERS EQUIPPED WITH HYDRAULIC BRAKES, THE BREAKAWAY BRAKES DO NOT WORK.
Risk
IF THE TRAILER DETACHES FROM THE TOW VEHICLE, THERE WILL BE NO BRAKING CAPABILITY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE ACTUATOR. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 28, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CHARLES MACHINE AT 1-580-336-4402.
