Honda wire that supplies power to the trailer turn signal lights was inadvertently switched with the stop lamp wire.
The short version
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) reported a problem with the trailer hitches. Here is what owners need to know.
The wire that supplies power to the trailer turn signal lights was inadvertently switched with the stop lamp wire. As a result the turn signals only illuminate when the brake lamps are illuminated.
Without trailer turn signal illumination, the driver's intent is not communicated, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge.
