REDARC has instigated a recall on a small number of Tow-Pro Elite V2 sold at various automotive/towing stores between 1st September 2018 and 21st January 2019.
The recall involves a limited number of the Tow-Pro Elite V2 (EBRH-ACCV2) modules, in that if they were not installed in accordance with the supplied product manual, utilising dedicated wiring from a single battery supply, there is the potential that there will be no trailer brake output. This fault is indicated on the remote controller head by a yellow/red flashing lamp. The obvious hazard involved, is that should an error occur, the trailer and tow vehicles stopping distance may be increased due to the trailer not applying brakes when the tow vehicle does.

I have had to have my redarc refitted. Took it to auto elec and had job done charged $ 120 thought it was fair for the amount of work . Contacted Redarc for reimbursment under thier warranty and was told it was at thier discression and in my case no reimbersment. I sent invoice and all documents required . I was on the road with a faulty unit .They are a joke .No Redarc products for me any more .Costomers disappear one at a time.
