Charles Machine Works brake wire terminals may have been improperly crimped, which can result in the trailer brakes failing to apply when commanded.
The short version
Charles Machine Works Inc reported a problem with the service brakes, electric. Here is what owners need to know.
The brake wire terminals may have been improperly crimped, which can result in the trailer brakes failing to apply when commanded.
If the trailer brakes do not apply as expected, the distance required to stop the trailer may be lengthened, increasing the risk of crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the brake terminals with a machine terminal, free of charge.
