Tekonsha Electrical System recall
Recalled May 27, 2020 · NHTSA recall 20E033000 · Tekonsha
Description
Horizon Global (Horizon) is recalling certain Tekonsha Prodigy RF Electronic Brake Control with Bluetooth kits, part number 902501, and certain Hand Held units, Part No. 90253, that were sold separately as replacements to be used with the 902501 sold for use on for 1 to 3 axle trailers. The brake control kit and its informational materials do not adequately instruct the operator that trailer brake functionality via foot pedal is unavailable when used in conjunction with certain 7-Way Trailer Connectors, while the tow vehicle's 4-Way Hazard Warning Signals are activated. The manual hand-held override trailer braking continues to function as intended.
What to do
Horizon will notify owners and dealers, and will provide a replacement part that provides notice/indicators to the driver when foot pedal braking is unavailable, along with updated instructions, free of charge. This recall began June 17, 2020. Owners may contact Horizon customer service at 1-877-973-7871.
