What this recall means for you
Certain 2019-2021 Old Dominion Brush trailers equipped with John Deere engines have a breakaway switch in the emergency brake system that was wired incorrectly. The emergency trailer brake may not engage when the trailer becomes untethered from the towing vehicle.
Without a working emergency brake, an untethered trailer may keep rolling and cannot be stopped automatically, which increases the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the breakaway cable system and re-wire it as necessary, free of charge. Owners who received the notification letter mailed January 21, 2022 can also contact Alamo customer service at 1-800-446-9823. Check your vehicle identification number for open recalls to confirm whether your trailer is affected.
