SERVICE BRAKES
- The defect
- Doosan Portable Power (Doosan) is recalling certain 2015-2023 Portable Generator Trailers. The electric brake harness was connected to the battery disconnect switch instead of the positive distribution lug of the battery, deenergizing the brakes when the battery disconnect switch is in the off position.
- What it can cause
- Deenergized brakes will not engage, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Owners will be 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 April 3, 2024. Owners may contact Doosan customer service at 1-800-633-5206. Doosan's number for this recall is 12-23-8. This recall is an expansion of Doosan recall 23V-859.
- 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 960 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 58% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2015 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 9 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Doosan Portable Power vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes once before this, most recently in December 2023 as 23V859000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 23V859000 (service brakes), 21V826000 (wheels).
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.
