The defect
Multiquip, Inc. (Multiquip) is recalling certain 2024 WTE5C and WTE5HP trailers. The trailer brakes may engage unexpectedly or fail to engage when the turn signal is activated, due to wiring that is incorrectly connected between the turn signal and electric brakes. As such, these trailers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems" and 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
Brakes that fail to engage when applied or unexpected brake engagement while driving increases the risk of a crash.
