What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (brake wiring) that results in a complete loss of braking capability, which the source text explicitly states increases the risk of a crash.

Plain-English summary

Doosan Portable Power is recalling certain 2019-2023 Portable Generator Trailers. The recall involves 1,799 units where the electric brake harness was connected to the battery disconnect switch instead of the positive distribution lug of the battery. This wiring error deenergizes the brakes when the battery disconnect switch is in the off position.

The defect means the deenergized brakes will not engage, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners are 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 on January 23, 2024. Owners may contact Doosan customer service at 1-800-633-5200 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
