What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

The risk

WITHOUT THE PLC CHIP IN THE TRAILER ECU MODULE, THE ABS MALFUNCTION SIGNAL TO THE TOWING VEHICLE WILL NOT FUNCTION.

Notes

ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
