What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Kompact Kamp is recalling certain 1983-2016 Kompact Kamp motorcycle trailers that were manufactured without side marker lights. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Assoc. Equipment."

The risk

Without side marker lights, vehicle visibility can be decreased to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Kompact Kamp will provide and install sidemarker lights on all trailers that were not equipped with sidemarker lights. The recall began on May 27, 2016. Owners may contact Kompact Kamp customer service at 1-717-933-8070.

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.
