| Description of the problem | Tl*the contact owns 2008 toyota tundra. The contact stated a vehicle crashed into the rear of their vehicle and when the vehicle was repaired, the plug used to haul a trailer no longer functioned properly. The design of the new plug was wider and it caused the electrical cable to hang from the trailer lights.

The contact asked the dealer to replace the old design but the manufacturer stated that they no longer had them. The failure prevented the tail lights and brake lights from working. The failure mileage and current mileages were 40,000. |
