NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published
The defect
ON CERTAIN FLATBED UTILITY TRAILERS WHICH CONTAIN BREAKAWAY KITS, THE WIRING HARNESS WAS INCORRECTLY WIRED.
The risk
IF THE TRAILER SHOULD BECOME DISCONNECTED FROM THE BREAKAWAY SWITCH PLUG, THE BRAKES WILL NOT APPLY AS REQUIRED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The remedy
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A NEW HARNESS. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING APRIL 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT MUSTANG TRAILER AT 1-412-678-0100.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
