On certain trucks, when a trailer is being towed, the combined stop and turn signal lights of the trailer may not illuminate when the brakes are applied. If this occurs, a following driver may not be alerted that the vehicle ahead is braking, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will re-wire the trailer brake light circuits on the trucks.
