Hyundai is recalling approximately 1,338 Mobis tow hitch wiring harnesses with part number CWF61-AU100. The wiring harness may have been installed incorrectly, which can allow moisture to enter the control module. This defect can lead to trailer lighting failure or an electrical short circuit. Owners are advised to park their vehicles outside and away from structures until a free replacement harness is installed by a dealer.
Water accumulation in the control module can cause an electrical short circuit, significantly increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Because of this fire risk, owners should not park their vehicles in garages or near buildings until the repair is completed.
You have 2 options:
Free replacement of the trailer wiring harness.
Precautionary parking advisory.
Harnesses were installed as equipment on Hyundai vehicles; recall number 291.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
