Component:

Exterior lighting:tail lights

Manufactured:

05/31/2005 - 10/30/2005

Affected:

Defect:

Certain t-connectors manufactured from june through october 2005 sold by cequent towing products under the hidden hitch, reese, and draw-tite brand names for aftermarket installation on 2005 and 2006 volvo xc90 vehicles. due to a unique waveform present on the tail lamp circuit of the tow vehicle, the t-connector may cause the tail lamps to flicker or not work when the vehicle is in operation.

Consequence:

Non-operational or intermittently operational tail lamps can prevent the vehicle/trailer from being visible to other vehicles, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.

Correction:

Cequent will notify owners and replace the t-connectors free of charge. the recall is expected to begin on january 30, 2006. owners may contact cequent at 1-800-632-3290.
