Details

In certain vehicles, water and other contaminants (dirt, salt, etc.) can enter into the right rear passenger compartment due to a missing body sealer condition.

This could cause a short circuit in the electrical connector at the rear wire harness.

A short circuit can lead to malfunctions of the rear lighting system, reverse park-aid system, or trailer tow electrical system.

A sustained short circuit can result in melted connectors, and potentially lead to a fire.

Correction: dealers will inspect the electrical connector and surrounding area for absence of body sealing and corrosion.

If corrosion is present, dealers will service the body gaps, repair corroded connectors, and apply a protective patch to the connector assembly and body gap.

If corrosion is not present but body sealer is missing, dealers will service the body gaps and apply a protective patch to the connector assembly and body gap.
