The problem

The electrical wiring harness does not always insure a positive ground between the self-grounding seven way receptacle and the rear light assemblies through the sliding running gear frame. Vibration from vehicle operation causes intermittent loss of an electrical ground to the rear frame.

The risk

The intermittent loss of electrical ground causes flickering of the rear lights.

A grounding wire will be added to these vehicles.
