Details

What's wrong: Certain motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 108, 'lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.' The rear and rear-side red reflectors are located above the 60-inch height limit.

Why it matters: Non-standard side marker and reflector lights could reduce visibility of vehicles and increase the potential for a crash.

The fix: Dealers will add reflex reflectors in compliant locations free of charge. The recall began on December 5, 2007.
