What's wrong: The units are not water-tight and moisture can seep into the converter module and defeat the module's internal circuit protection.
Why it matters: Without the circuit protection, the module can overheat possibly resulting in a fire.
The fix: Curt manufacturing will notify owners and replace the tow package wiring harness. The remedy will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on October 17, 2011.
