Details

What's wrong: Certain toy hauler trailers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." The rear and rear-side marker lights were purchased and installed without the reflex reflector capability.

Why it matters: During night driving conditions or while the vehicle is parked, the rear and rear-side marker lights will not provide any reflex reflection to mark the vehicle's location in the dark increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Dealers will remove and replace four marker lights with a surface mount bracket free of charge. The recall began on May 11, 2005.
