Defect description

Carry-On Trailer Corp. (Carry-On Trailer) is recalling certain 2017 Utility, Dump, and Enclosed trailers equipped with electric brakes. The affected trailers use the Bright Way breakaway box number 2305 which has a push-to-test light that may remain lit at all times.

Safety consequence

If push to test light remains lit for an extended period of time, the circuit board might fail causing the breakaway brakes to not perform as intended, increasing the risk of a crash if the trailer separates from the tow vehicle.

Manufacturer remedy

Carry-On Trailer has notified owners, and dealers will retrofit the previous version breakaway charger, free of charge. The recall began on July 14, 2017. Owners may contact Carry-On Trailer customer service at 1-706-356-5379.
