2024 Multiquip WTE5C & 2024 Multiquip WTE5HP recall: electrical system

⚠️ What's wrong

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.

Dealers will inspect and repair the wiring, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 22, 2024. Owners may contact Multiquip customer service at 1-800-421-1244.

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.)
