The defect
Vac-Tron Equipment, LLC (Vac-Tron), is recalling certain 2020 CVGTLC, CVSGT, CVGT, LPSGT, LPXDT, MINICOMBO and LPSDT Vacuum Excavator trailers. The trailers may be missing rear and rear-side reflex reflectors.

The risk
Without the proper reflective equipment, the vacuum excavator trailer may have reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
