Toyota software within the module may incorrectly detect an electrical short and preventively turn off the electrical current and the trailer lights.
The short version
Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC reported a problem with the trailer hitches. Here is what owners need to know.
The software within the module may incorrectly detect an electrical short and preventively turn off the electrical current and the trailer lights.
If the system incorrectly detects an electrical short and turns off the trailer lights while the trailer is being towed at night, there is an increased risk of a crash.
SET will notify owners, and dealers will replace the trailer light module with a new unit with corrected software, free of charge.
