The hazard

Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121 - Air Brake Systems. The Antilock Brake System (ABS) module may have been incorrect programmed during vehicle assembly. As such, the trailer ABS fault indicator lamp may not illuminate if a trailer ABS fault occurs. A driver who is unaware that the trailer ABS is not functioning could lose control of the trailer under hard braking, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the ABS module.
