The issue

On certain vehicles, an undersized wire in the trailer stop lamp circuit of the instrument panel harness is susceptible to thermal cycling which may cause damage to the wiring. This could result in the trailer lamp fuse failing, which could cause stop lamps to become inoperative and increase the risk of a crash. This damaged wiring could also increase the risk of fire. These issues could result in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the undersized wire in the harness.

Description (français)

Sur certains véhicules, un fil trop petit dans le circuit des feux d'arrêt de la remorque du faisceau de câbles du tableau de bord risque d'effectuer un cyclage thermique qui pourrait endommager les fils. Cela pourrait faire en sorte que le fusible des feux de la remorque fasse défaut, ce qui pourrait faire en sorte que les feux de freinage cessent de fonctionner et augmentent ainsi les risques d'un accident. Ces fils endommagés pourraient aussi augmenter les risques d'incendie. Ces problèmes pourraient blesser quelqu'un ou endommager des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer le fil trop petit du faisceau.
