Official Safety Notice: Water ingress into the breakaway switch can cause a short circuit in wet weather, resulting in the electric brakes locking on, hot brakes in heavy rain.

Standard, unsealed breakaway switches are susceptible to moisture intrusion. To permanently solve wet-weather tracking on a 4-tonne trailer, implement these hardware changes:

While traditional electric drum brakes are standard across a majority of standard highway builds due to their lower cost, upgrading to a disc setup offers substantial mechanical benefits.

Genuine AL-KO: Engineered with premium Kevlar semi-metallic, asbestos-free compounds. These materials withstand high thermal loads, dissipate heat, and maintain stable friction to prevent dangerous brake fade on steep downhill descents.
