Recall 16V185000
Exterior Lighting — Kompact Kamp · reported 1 Apr 2016 · 4,219 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
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 fix
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.
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.
