Tow Ready recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Cequent is recalling certain tow ready t-one connectors (trailer wiring harness adapters), part number 118542 that were sold in the aftermarket for use on model year 2011 and 2012 dodge charger vehicles. Due to an error in the circuit logic, the t-one connector may cause the left (driver) side brake lamp on the trailer to become inoperable while the right (passenger) side turn signal lamp is activated.
What could happen
Without brake lights, following drivers may not know that the lead vehicle is slowing or stopping, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Cequent will notify owners and replace the t-one connector free of charge. The safety recall began on march 6, 2012. Owners may contact cequent customer service at 1-877-208-2573.
