2005 Sundowner Sunlite recalls, newest first

June 27, 2005NHTSA 05V3010007 vehicles potentially affected

Service brakes, electric

Summary: On certain horse/stock trailers equipped with dexter predator electric/hydraulic brake systems and were not factory equipped with a storage battery, the break-away system battery does not have enough amp hours to maintain braking for the required 15 minutes in case of trailer break-away when using the electric/hydraulic brake system.
Consequence: If the trailer were to come loose from the tow vehicle, it is possible that the current break-away battery would not be able to maintain breaking action for the required 15 minutes, which could result in a crash or injury/damage to the operator and/or the horses/stock.
Remedy: Dealers will install a battery and battery box and rewire the trailer through the storage battery. They will also apply a notice label on or by the battery location informing them that the break-away system is tied into the storage battery. The recall began on July 18, 2005. Owners may contact sundowner at 1-800-654-3879, extension 2149.
