The issue
On certain trucks, the automatic circuit breakers used to protect the vehicle lighting system may not provide adequate protection. If a short circuit occurs, components and wiring may be subject to overheating, which could result in a vehicle fire, causing property damage and/or personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the circuit breakers with fuses.
Description (français)
Sur certains camions, les disjoncteurs automatiques utilisés pour protéger le système d'éclairage du véhicule pourraient ne pas fournir une protection adéquate. Si un court circuit se produisait, les pièces et les fils pourraient surchauffer, ce qui pourrait causer un incendie, endommager des biens matériels, ou blesser quelqu'un ou entraîner des pertes de vie. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les disjoncteurs par des fusibles.
