DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT
Posted on: 2005-05-18
Description
Certain honda accessory trailer harness kit, p/n 08l91-scv-102, manufactured between november 24 and december 18, 2004, sold for use on my 2005 honda element vehicles manufactured between december 20, 2004, and april 29, 2005. The wire harness of the trailer hitch kit has an incorrectly wired connector. As a result, the trailer brake lamps and turn signal lamps could operate incorrectly, or a fuse could blow causing a sudden loss of brake and turn signal lamp function.
Consequence
Improper signaling or a loss of trailer warning lamp function without warning could cause a vehicle crash, possibly resulting in injuries.
Corrective Action
Honda will notify its customers and instruct them to bring their vehicle to a honda dealer. The dealer will correct the connector wiring free of charge. The recall began on may 17, 2005. Owners may contact honda at 310-783-2000.

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.
