Exterior lightingReported July 13, 2006 · 63 vehicles affected
What is wrong
On certain car hauling trailers with an extra night loading light option (6light/7light), the tractor and trailer lights were wired to one switch rather than two separate switches. These lights may have a fuse in the electrical circuit that is rated higher than the other electrical components in the circuit.
Risk
These components may potentially overheat without blowing the fuse which could cause a fire in the electrical circuit.
Remedy
One-switch circuits will be rewired to create two-switch circuits. All customers have been contacted to disable the night-loading light option and arrangements have been made to have these trailers repaired. Owners may contact cottrell at 1‑770‑532‑7251.
