Summary of the Safety Concern:
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. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 11, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT FLEETWOOD FOLDING AT 1-800-322-8216. |
