This could result in an electrical short to ground, which could cause an uncommanded seat belt pretensioner deployment, a burning smell and/or an increased risk of fire, even when the vehicle is parked and the ignition is off. This may also cause turn signals to flash rapidly as well as cause a loss of the instrument cluster display, heater and air conditioning controls, and multimedia system (radio, screens, SYNC). An electrical short could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will add a drainage hole to the driver’s door stepwell and incorporate a fuse into the vehicle wiring harness. Note: This recall is an expansion of recall 2017-516.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"17S34","part_number":null,"units":753,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Circuit électrique","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules dotés d'un module de commande de l'éclairage de la remorque ou qui ont reçu un tel module comme accessoire sur le marché secondaire, de l'eau pourrait entrer dans le module et le connecteur ce qui pourrait corroder le câblage et endommager le module. Ces problèmes pourraient causer un court-circuit de la mise à la masse ce qui pourrait entraîner le déploiement involontaire du prétendeur de la ceinture de sécurité, propager une odeur de brûlé et/ou augmenter les risques d'un feu même si le véhicule est stationné et que la clé est en position OFF dans le contact. Les clignotants pourraient également commencer à clignoter rapidement, les voyants du groupe d'instrumentation pourraient ne plus s'allumer, les commandes du chauffage et de l'air climatisé et celles du système multimédia (radio, écrans, SYNC) pourraient ne plus fonctionner. Un court-circuit pourrait augmenter les risques de blessures et/ou de dommages matériels. Mesure corrective : Les concessionnaires doivent percer un orifice de drainage dans le puit de marche de la porte du conducteur et ajouter un fusible sur le faisceau de câbles du véhicule.
