Details

What's wrong: A decklid wire harness can fatigue and develop broken wires in the bend area of the wire harness.

Why it matters: This could result in either a loss of individual lamp functions, or in the case of a short of the broken wires that causes a fuse to open, in the loss of stop lamp or tail lamp function. Loss of stop lamp or tail lamp function could increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the decklid wire harness.
