They have been making titan ics since 2004 and there have been re calls due to the trailer brake control circuit failing due to bad body control modules. I believe all titan ics need to be re called for this issue. My titan ic will not work with 2 different brake controllers by 2 different manufacturers. Best to not attempt to tow anything that requires a brake control due to this on going problem for any year titan ic.
