| Defect Summary : Vehicle description: trailers equipped with antilock braking system (abs) electronic control units (ecu) for over-the-road trailer applications. the cover seal (o-ring) may have been improperly installed in certain easy-stop trailer abs electronic control units. an incorrectly installed seal could permit water to enter the ecu causing a fault to develop. this will cause the vehicle's trailer abs warning lamp to illuminate immediately when the water contacts the board, deactivating all or part of the abs. |
Consequence Summary: If the warning lamp signal is ignored for a period of time, corrosion can develop eventually leaking to a complete loss of ecu function. the service brakes would continue to be fully functional. |
