What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Alamo Group Inc. (Alamo) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Old Dominion Brush Co. LLCT450, LCT600, LCT650, LCT6000, DCL800TM, GMV550, SCL800TM, XV550, XV600 and XV6000 trailers equipped with John Deere engines. The emergency brake system breakaway switch was incorrectly wired.

The risk

Incorrect wiring may prevent the emergency trailer brake from engaging when the trailer becomes untethered, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will inspect and re-wire the breakaway cable system as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 21, 2022. Owners may contact Alamo customer service at 1-800-446-9823.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

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.
