Problem 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. Risk Deenergized brakes will not engage, increasing the risk of a crash. Fix 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.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 12-23-8 is the number Doosan Portable Power assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 24V230000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.
