Transport Canada recalls

Lights And Instruments#2014571December 17, 2014
21 units affected
On certain vehicles, the exterior electrical connections to the side marker lights were not weatherized properly. This could cause these connections to ground against the body and/or frame of the vehicle, which could blow a fuse and increase the risk of fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will install heat shrink tubing to repair the wiring.
