didn't hear anymore about it after that but its quite clear from the sn that some vehicles were showing faults from the off with nowt wrong wiv em.i would refer you also to a prior post where an adaptor to convert em from 13 to 7 pin means its now not tested,summat I advise anyone with a failure on this to explore,you can also run old spec trailers,the adaptor takes seconds to fit and is pretty cheap.win win.
