The hazard

On certain vehicles, the trailer hitch kit wiring harness has an incorrectly wired connector. As a result, the trailer brake lamps and turn signal lamps could operate incorrectly, or a fuse could blow causing a sudden loss of brake and turn signal lamp function. Improper signalling or a loss of trailer warning lamp function without warning could cause a crash. Correction: Dealers will repair the wiring harness.
