What's wrong?
The 7-Way RV trailer plug on the 2024 Multiquip WTE5HP and WTE5C connects the tow vehicle's electrical signals to the trailer. It sends separate signals for the turn lamps and the electric brakes, so the trailer lights indicate a turn while the brakes respond only when braking is commanded.
On affected trailers, the wiring between the turn signal circuit and the electric brake circuit was connected to the wrong terminals during manufacturing. When the turn signal is activated, that crossed wiring sends the wrong command through the plug. The trailer brakes can engage unexpectedly, or they can fail to engage when they are needed.
The warning sign is unusual turn signal behavior on the trailer. If the trailer turn signal acts unexpectedly, treat the brakes as suspect too, because the same wiring problem affects both systems.
Who's affected?

What's the safety risk?
Trailer brakes that fail to engage when applied, or engage unexpectedly while driving, increase the risk of a crash. Unexpected trailer turn signal behavior is a warning that the brakes are also behaving unexpectedly. If you see that signal issue, stop using the trailer and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Multiquip dealer.

- Contact a franchised Multiquip dealer to schedule the free wiring inspection and repair that fixes the incorrect turn signal and electric brake connection.
- Bring the recall notice if Multiquip mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V660 when you call.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Multiquip technician inspects the trailer brake and turn signal wiring, then repairs any incorrect connection between the turn signal circuit and the electric brakes. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Multiquip states the trailers are under warranty and no customer payment is or was required, so there is no separate reimbursement program for this campaign. Ask the service desk to confirm the completed wiring repair is recorded on your trailer's recall file.
