The defect
Cottrell, Inc. (Cottrell) is recalling certain 2018-2019 1-Car trailers. The vehicles may be missing marker lights at the center of the bottom rear of the trailer. 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
The lack of the marker lights may reduce the trailer's visibility to others, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Cottrell has notified the owner of the affected trailers and has been working to schedule the modification of all units, free of charge. No additional owner letters will be mailed. The recall began on October 28, 2019. Owners may contact Cottrell at 1-800-827-0132. Cottrell's number for this recall is 1-car.
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.
