NHTSA recall 08V628000
Exterior Lighting · Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: These motor homes fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." The rear hitch mounted spare tire carrier (continental spare tire kit), impedes the full visibility of the left tail light. The drivers of following vehicles may not have full visibility of the left tail lights.
Why it matters: This lack of visibility could result in a crash.
The fix: Dealers will install a supplementary tail light on the fiberglass cover of the spare tire free of charge. The recall began on December 22, 2008.
