NHTSA campaign 16V493000 · Exterior Lighting · filed Jun 30, 2016 · verified Jul 30, 2026
The defect
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."
The risk
A blocked clearance light may make the trailer less visible to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
