What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Triple E Recreational Vehicles (Triple E) is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Libero L24CB, Serenity S24CB, Regency GT (GT24MB, GT27S, GT28D, GT29T), and Unity (U24CB, U24IB, U24TB, U24MB). The light for the license plate does not adequately illuminate the license plate to have it be visible when it is dark out. Therefore, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The risk

Without license plate illumination, the vehicle may be difficult to identify at night.

The remedy

Triple E Recreational Vehicles will notify owners and dealers will install a new license plate lamp, free of charge. The recall began during June 2013. Owners may contact Triple E at 1-877-992-9906. Triple E's number for this campaign is CA#7719-1.

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.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
