We are a dealer and have seen 5 units with this issue, shasta has covered repair under warranty but has not notified owners/dealers of the issue or issued a recall. The wiring for the marker and brake lights passes through the frame unprotected near the rear of the unit and rubs. After aprox 500-1500 miles the wire wears through causing a short. Two units have had the wires melted together causing a potential fire hazard. The marker and brake lights fail with the potential of a following vehicle not knowing the unit is stopping and causing a rear ending collision or causing the trailer to not be seen at night causing a collision.
