Recall 23V859000 · manufacturer campaign 12-23-8

Service Brakes — Doosan Portable Power · reported 19 Dec 2023 · 1,799 vehicles potentially affected

⚠️ Do Not Drive advisory. NHTSA and the manufacturer advise owners of affected vehicles not to drive them until this recall is repaired.

What's wrong

Doosan Portable Power (Doosan) is recalling certain 2019-2023 Portable Generator Trailers. The electric brake harness was connected to the battery disconnect switch instead of the positive distribution lug of the battery, deenergizing the brakes when the battery disconnect switch is in the off position.

The risk

Deenergized brakes will not engage, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Owners will be instructed to immediately stop towing the affected trailers until repairs have been made. Dealers will correct the wiring, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 23, 2024. Owners may contact Doosan customer service at 1-800-633-5200. Doosan's number for this recall is 12-23-8.

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.
