Potential brake failure

tinknocker

New 2022 Tab 400 has brake wireing issue that could cause brake failure. The wires to both left and right brakes are too short and could cause a short or sever the wires. I cut the zip ties holding the wires to the axle tube and pulled as much slack out ot the trailer frame and installed new zip ties. See before and after pictures.

Conversely I had the opposite problem detailed here:

Brake lines were too long and rubbed against the tire and nearly chewed through the lines. It looks like you have just enough slack and the zip ties will keep it all from moving though.

I have a 2019 400 and my wiring was totally severed.  I tried to ask the repair guy more about how it happened since it seemed like a really unlikely thing to just happen out if the blue but he seemed to not have any interest in taking time to explain it to a woman so I don't have any idea what he found.....I won't be taking it back there in the future.  

I have a 2022 on order.  Have you alerted NuCamp about this?

@tinknocker - did you notify nuCamp regarding the brake wires?

NuCamp should be notified and Dexter Axle should be made aware of this as well since they build the axle assemblies.

I just emailed nucamp regarding the issue and waiting for a responce.

It’s frustrating knowing Nucamp still hasn’t made an effort to correct this. I (and many others) have notified them about the brake lines being too long. Maybe they’ve overcorrected and made them too short now.
