1 Wiring problem

Failure Date: 05/11/2017

The wiring harness for the rear passenger tail lights has corroded. Point of corrosion is the "cup or socket" that the tail light bulb is inserted into. Corrosion failure occurred at 28 months of ownership of the new vehicle. Socket did not have any type of corrosion preventing dielectric grease present as I have typically seen in tail light connections. Unfortunately, since the vehicle was at 40,000 miles it was considered out of warranty and all expense for repair of defective manufacturing. Dealership also recommended the replacement of a socket with field soldiering rather than replacement of the entire wire harness which seems like a solution to create more corrosion issues. Corrosion caused the loss of tail lights on the rear passenger side of the vehicle which could have resulted in an accident due to lack of warning/indication from vehicles behind.
