What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

MOTOR HOMES WERE BUILT WITH CLEAR PLASTIC LENSES AND BULBS IN THE FRONT TURN SIGNALS INSTEAD OF AMBER COLORED, WHICH IS IN NONCOMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS 108-LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: AMBER COLOR SIGNALS INDICATE A WARNING TO OTHER MOTORISTS, HOWEVER A CLEAR/WHITE SIGNAL MAY NOT BE TAKEN AS A WARNING SIGNAL WHICH MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

The remedy

INVENTORY OF THESE MOTOR HOMES HELD BY MANUFACTURER AND DEALERS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED BY REPLACING LENSES.

Notes

SYSTEM: LIGHTING/FMVSS 108. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS A MOTOR HOMES.

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.
