The risk
The pins on the electrical tow-bar connector may be incorrectly positioned. This could lead to the improper functioning of the trailer lights, increasing the risk of an accident. Moreover, this could lead to a thermal incident in the trailer's integrated auxiliary battery, increasing the risk of fire. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
