What Happened
The tow wiring harness in your vehicle is the bundle of wires that connects the lights on your trailer to the lights on your Hyundai Veracruz or Kia Sorento. In some cases, this harness isn't sealed properly, allowing water to seep in and cause problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If the wiring harness gets water inside, it could overheat and catch fire. This could lead to a serious fire in your vehicle.
