The issue

On certain vehicles a rubber grommet from the trailer light line connector is missing. Kenworth chassis equipped with trailer connections are experiencing corrosion at the 7-way trailer connector with the light line because of the missing grommet, which causes intermittent flashing/flickering of the trailer lights. The elimination of this grommet allowed water to enter the connection and begin corroding, which can cause a short and/or possible fire hazard. Correction: Dealer will install the missing grommet and if a connector is found defective, it will be replaced.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, on a omis de poser un passe-fil en caoutchouc sur un connecteur du flexible de liaison de l'éclairage de la remorque. À cause de l'absence de ce passe-fil, la connexion d'éclairage du connecteur à 7 voies posé sur le flexible de liaison des châssis Kenworth est sensible à la corrosion et il se peut que les feux de la remorque se mettent à clignoter ou à papilloter. L'omission du passe-fil permet à l'eau de s'infiltrer dans le connecteur qui commence alors à se corroder, ce qui peut provoquer un court-circuit et même causer un incendie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser le passe-fil manquant et remplacer le connecteur s'il est endommagé par la corrosion.
