What NHTSA recorded

The circuit wire for the trailer stop light may not be connected to the output terminal of either the tractor spring brake stop light switch or the service brake stop light switch. Consequence of defect: trailer stop lights will not illuminate when brakes are applied. The truck brake warning signal to other highway vehicles would not be present, creating a possibility for an accident.

Remedy

Rework wiring for proper connection.
