The problem

On certain travel trailers equipped with tekonsha emergency brake breakaway switches sold by cequent, an electrical switching component may cause the breakaway device to fail or to operate improperly.

The risk

In the case of a separation of the trailer from the towing vehicle, a failure of the breakaway switch may prevent the trailer brakes from activating possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

The fix

Dealers will replace the breakaway switches free of charge. These trailers are still located at the keystone rv manufacturing facility or in the possession of dealers.
