to fail. According to federal safety regulators, the issue could prevent turn signals

and brake lights on the trailer from activating and on RAM models equipped with a built-in

trailer brake controller. The trailer brakes may not function at all. That's obviously a major safety concern for anyone

towing with the trailer. The recall includes several 2024 through 2026 model year vehicles,

Vin lookup information is expected to go live on the NHTSA National Highway Traffic

are scheduled to begin mailing in late March.

At the same time, BC Parks is also raising base camping fees at many high-demand locations

for the first time in about a decade.

Some front country sites could climb as high as $51 Canadian per night during peak season

without the $20 fee, while backcountry fees may rise to as much as $25 per person per night during peak season without the $20 fee, while backcountry fees may rise to as much as
