What is wrong
THE AFFECTED VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH THE OPTIONAL TRAILER TOW PACKAGE. THE TAILLIGHT RELAY ASSEMBLY MAY HAVE WIRES THAT ARE OF A SMALLER GAUGE THAN THE FUSE LINK WHICH IS PROTECTING THE CIRCUIT. A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE TRAILER WIRING OR WATER INTRUSION INTO THE RELAY ASSEMBLY COULD CAUSE THE SMALLER GAUGE WIRES TO ACT AS A FUSE LINK AND OVERHEAT, CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE.
CORRECTION: A FUSE WILL BE INSTALLED WITHIN THE TRAILER TOW RELAY POWER FEED CIRCUIT WHICH WILL PROTECT THE RELAY FROM SHORT CIRCUIT OR THERMAL OVERLOAD.
