| Defect Summary | Certain hopkins aftermarket trailer brake control connection harnesses sold for use on certain models of nissan vehicles which are listed above. the internal part numbers within hopkins are: 1010476025, 1040376025, 1110476025, 1170376025, 1290376025, 1010476035, 1040376035, 1110476035, 1170376035, and 1290376035. a wire may have been placed in an incorrect position in the electrical connector housing. this results in an incorrect routing of wires between the trailer brake controller and the towing vehicle wiring system. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | This harness would result in power from the trailer brake controller going to the towing vehicle dash light circuit rather than the trailer brakes. this result would be the lack of trailer braking when the towing vehicle brakes were applied. it would also result in the towing vehicles dash lights being activated when the vehicle brakes were applied. the failure of the application of the trailer brake could result in reduced ability to stop and contribute to a possible crash. | |||||||||||||||

| Had a flat tire so tried to change myself with factory jack kit. i was in a parking lot on flat asphalt. we i started to lift the car and when i got a load on the jack it froze and the center screw bent and the car shifted. the auto club had to remove the jack as it would not function. the dealership is going to replace it with a same type jack. the jack is not strong enough for car. i was lucky it happened while lifting not after i got the wheel off. *jb | |||
