Issue

On certain travel trailers, the electric brake wiring may have been routed too close to the center spring hanger of the axles. This could cause the wiring to catch or chafe against the spring hanger, and sever the wire. If the brake wire were to be severed for one of the axles, braking would be lost on that axle, which would increase stopping distances, and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will relocate and clamp the wires out of the travel of the spring hanger and shackle.
