Defect. DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION AND THE ELECTRICAL DEMAND, A COMBINATION OF CORROSION AND HEAT CAN CAUSE A MOMENTARY BREAK ON EITHER OF TWO ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS AT THE BULKHEAD CONNECTOR (21 OR 29). IF THESE CIRCUITS FAIL, THE IGNITION, PARKING LIGHT, FUEL PUMP, FUSE PANELS AND THE SECONDARY ELECTRICAL BRAKING SYSTEM WILL LOSE POWER.

Risk. LOSS OF POWER TO THE SECONDARY ELECTRICAL BRAKING SYSTEM CAN RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES AND POSSIBLE VEHICLE ACCIDENT.

Remedy. POWER FROM THE BATTERY WILL BE RUN DIRECTLY TO THE STOP LAMP SWITCH AND THE IGNITION SWITCH. THIS WILL ELIMINATE THE BULKHEAD CONNECTION FOR THE IGNITION CIRCUIT AND BACK-UP BRAKE CIRCUIT AS WELL AS DIVIDING UP THE LOAD ON THE TWO QUESTIONABLE CIRCUITS.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
