DEFECT #1 - EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Posted on: 2006-07-13
Description
On certain car hauling trailers with an extra night loading light option (6light/7light), the tractor and trailer lights were wired to one switch rather than two separate switches. These lights may have a fuse in the electrical circuit that is rated higher than the other electrical components in the circuit.
Consequence
These components may potentially overheat without blowing the fuse which could cause a fire in the electrical circuit.
Corrective Action
One-switch circuits will be rewired to create two-switch circuits. All customers have been contacted to disable the night-loading light option and arrangements have been made to have these trailers repaired. Owners may contact cottrell at 1-770-532-7251.

Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
