What's wrong?
The breakaway switch on a 2023-2024 Alliance Rv Paradigm trailer is a safety switch tied to the trailer brake system. If the trailer separates from the tow vehicle, the switch is pulled and should send battery power to the hydraulic disc brake actuator. That actuator uses electric power to apply hydraulic pressure to the trailer brakes, so the trailer can slow itself after separation.
On affected trailers, the switch was wired to take power through the tow plug from the tow vehicle instead of from the trailer's house batteries. In a separation, that tow-vehicle connection is gone. With no battery feed at the breakaway switch, the actuator does not energize the hydraulic disc brakes when the switch is pulled.
There is no normal driving warning sign before failure. The problem shows up during a breakaway test, or in the actual separation scenario the switch is meant to handle, when the trailer brakes do not engage.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific RV is included.
What's the safety risk?
Incorrect wiring can keep the emergency trailer brake from engaging after the trailer detaches, increasing the risk of a crash. If the breakaway switch is pulled while the tow vehicle is disconnected, the trailer brakes do not engage. Repair is free at any franchised Alliance Rv dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2024 Alliance Rv Paradigm is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Alliance Rv dealer to schedule the free breakaway-cable rewiring, which lets the emergency trailer brakes engage if the trailer detaches.
- Bring the recall notice if Alliance Rv mailed one. If not, reference recall number 23V569 when you call.
- Avoid towing the trailer until the breakaway switch wiring is repaired.
