NHTSA recall 16V493000
Exterior Lighting · Heartland Trailer Mfg
Details
What's wrong: Heartland trailer mfg. (Heartland) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Revolution trailers manufactured September 1, 2015, to April 30, 2016. The affected trailers have a rear clearance light that is covered by a brace for the rear gate. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Why it matters: A blocked clearance light may make the trailer less visible to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will remove the gate brace, free of charge. The recall began on August 9, 2016.
