The defect
Supreme Corporation (Supreme) is recalling certain 2007-2017 Signature Van and Kold King vehicles equipped with oval taillights installed in the rear corner posts. The affected vehicles have rear reflex reflectors that may have been mounted more than 60 inches above the road surface. 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."
The risk
A reflector that is mounted too high may not be effectively illuminated by headlights at night, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Supreme will notify owners, and will provide new rear reflex reflectors for any vehicle whose existing reflector height exceeds 60 inches, free of charge. The recall began on August 8, 2017. Owners may contact Supreme customer service at 1-800-642-4889.
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.
