TEKONSHA PRODIGY ELEC. BRAKE CONTR; TEKONSHA PRODIGY HAND HELD UNIT
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Horizon Global is recalling certain Tekonsha Prodigy RF Electronic Brake Control with Bluetooth kits (part number 902501) and Hand Held units (part number 90253) used with 1 to 3 axle trailers. When these brake controllers are used with certain 7-way trailer connectors and the tow vehicle's 4-way hazard warning signals are activated, the foot pedal braking for the trailer becomes unavailable. If drivers are unaware of this limitation, they may delay applying the manual hand-held brake, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Horizon will send owners and dealers a replacement part that includes notice and indicators to alert drivers when foot pedal braking is unavailable, along with updated instructions. The replacement parts and instructions will be provided free of charge. Owners of affected brake control kits should contact Horizon customer service at 1-877-973-7871 to arrange for the replacement part.
