Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with hydraulic brake controller by active technologies. It is possible that the brake controller can fail unexpectedly causing the brakes on the trailer to lock up or to fail completely.

Why it matters: The locking of the brakes or brake failure could result in a loss of vehicle control that could result in a crash and possible serious injury.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the brake controller and if found to be defective it will be replaced free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during August 2010.
