What was wrong
Defect
Charles Machine Works Inc. (Charles Machine) is recalling certain model year 2016 Ditch Witch T14MV trailers manufactured June 23, 2015, to July 01, 2016. The affected trailers may have an incorrect wiring harness that could result in the brakes not applying in the event that the trailer separates from the tow vehicle.
Risk
If the trailer brakes do not activate in the event of a trailer breakaway, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Charles Machine has notified owners, and dealers will correct the switch wiring, free of charge. The recall began on August 5, 2016. Owners may contact Charles Machine customer service at 1-800-654-6481.
