The issue

On certain travel trailers, the trailer break-away safety switch may not be properly wired. When the battery disconnect is switched off, the electrical power to the switch could be lost. In the unlikely event that the trailer separates from the tow vehicle, the trailer brakes may not apply, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a new wiring harness which supplies constant power to the break-away safety switch.

Description (français)

Sur certaines caravanes classiques, l'interrupteur de sécurité pourrait ne pas être sous tension constamment et pourrait être débranché de la batterie de maison de la caravane lors de la mise hors-service du dispositif de débranchement de batterie. Si cela se produisait, les freins du véhicule tracteur ne se serreraient pas en cas d'un détachement de la caravane, ce qui pourrait augmenter les risques d'un accident blessant quelqu'un ou endommageant des biens matériels. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront poser un nouveau faisceau de câbles pour l'interrupteur de sécurité.
