Chronology of events

1. Jan 21, 2026

   On January 21, 2026, a vehicle was returned to the factory because it appeared the wiring had shorted causing some melted wires in the unit. While reviewing the wiring of the unit it was noticed that the 10- gauge wire from the 7-way connector was wired to the battery side of the mini breaker instead of the protected side. On the same day it was determined that all vehicles built for this model could have incorrectly wired overcurrent protection.
