The problem

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.

The risk

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.

The fix

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.
