2017 Carry-ON Trailer Dump & 2017 Carry-ON Trailer Enclosed + 1 more recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Carry-On Trailer Corp. (Carry-On Trailer) is recalling certain 2017 Utility, Dump, and Enclosed trailers equipped with electric brakes. The affected trailers use the Bright Way breakaway box number 2305 which has a push-to-test light that may remain lit at all times.
💥 The risk
If push to test light remains lit for an extended period of time, the circuit board might fail causing the breakaway brakes to not perform as intended, increasing the risk of a crash if the trailer separates from the tow vehicle.
🔧 The fix
Carry-On Trailer has notified owners, and dealers will retrofit the previous version breakaway charger, free of charge. The recall began on July 14, 2017. Owners may contact Carry-On Trailer customer service at 1-706-356-5379.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
