Defect
Supreme Corporation (Supreme) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Wabash National Supreme Dry Freight Body vehicles equipped with certain Maxon GPTLR and GPTWR liftgates. A license plate light may have been installed that aims rearward and not towards the license plate. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Safety risk
A license plate light aimed toward other drivers may increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Supreme will work with Maxon to provide replacement license plate kits, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 19, 2022. Owners may contact Supreme customer service at 1-844-352-4921.
