Issue
On certain vehicles, the fifth wheel remote unlocking switch may not work as designed. As a result, the driver may inadvertently release the 5th wheel latch when the park brake is applied if he/she presses or bumps the switch. This could cause the trailer to decouple from the truck increasing the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will add a redundant measure such as an additional switch or adding a thumb lock that requires 2 actions to push the switch.
