Recall 16V612000
Exterior Lighting — Morbark · reported 23 Aug 2016 · 813 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
Morbark Inc. (Morbark) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Beever M15R wood-chipper trailers manufactured February 6, 2013, to August 3, 2016, and Beever M20R wood-chipper trailers manufactured January 5, 2009, to August 3, 2016. The stop lights and tail lights on the affected vehicles may be located too high to be easily seen. 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
Rear lights that cannot easily be seen increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Morbark will notify owners and dealers will install a kit that repositions the lights, free of charge. The recall began on November 4, 2016. Owners may contact Morbark customer service at 1-517-866-2381.
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.
Vehicles covered by this recall
Whether a particular car is affected and still unrepaired depends on its VIN — a model year being listed does not mean every car of that year is included. Check any VIN free on CarLogs, or at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Is this car's recall fixed?
Recall repairs are free at any franchised dealer, for the life of the vehicle. A CarLogs report shows the recall status for a specific VIN as reported by the manufacturer — whether it's open or repaired, and whether the fix is available yet.
