## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [DOR\-Z2E6B\-08](/bulletins/10178810.md), 2020-08-24, Service bulletin: TRAILER HITCHES; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL. These SKUs are Trailer Brake Control Modules. The customer communication requested return of unsold inventory due to an internal software issue. The internal software issue leads to a false check trailer brake message and Trailer Brake Controller fault whenever the brake pedal is pressed. This will cause the part to be replaced, due to repetitive dashboard warning light, even though it sends signals to the trailer brakes properly.
