ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL
- The defect
- Alamo Group Inc. (Alamo) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Old Dominion Brush Co. LLCT450, LCT600, LCT650, LCT6000, DCL800TM, GMV550, SCL800TM, XV550, XV600 and XV6000 trailers equipped with John Deere engines. The emergency brake system breakaway switch was incorrectly wired.
- What it can cause
- Incorrect wiring may prevent the emergency trailer brake from engaging when the trailer becomes untethered, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and re-wire the breakaway cable system as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 21, 2022. Owners may contact Alamo customer service at 1-800-446-9823.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 286 vehicles this is a small campaign: 56% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 23V892000 (equipment adaptive/mobility).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Alamo Group Inc. with NHTSA on November 24, 2021 as campaign 21V926000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
