On certain fifth wheel trailers, the brake wires may be pinched between the frame and aluminum underbelly. This could cause cuts to the insulation and could result in a short circuit and possibly a brake failure. Correction: Brake wire will be inspected for chafing and if the wire and insulation are sound, sealed with silicone around the wire. Chafed wire will be replaced.
