Summary

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.

Consequence

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.

Remedy

DEALERS WILL REMOVE AND REPLACE FOUR MARKER LIGHTS WITH A SURFACE MOUNT BRACKET FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 11, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT FLEETWOOD FOLDING AT 1-800-322-8216.
