Defect

Conel, LLC dba McElrath Trailers (McElrath Trailers) is recalling certain 2014-2019 VX trailers. The side marker LED lights may be missing reflex reflectors. 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."

Safety risk

The lack of reflex reflectors can reduce the trailer's visibility to others, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

McElrath Trailers will notify owners, and dealers will install separate reflex reflectors on the sides and rear of the trailer, free of charge. The recall began January 3, 2020. Owners may contact McElrath Trailers customer service at 1-864-814-2220.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
