Recall 17V602000
Exterior Lighting — C&m · reported 26 Sep 2017 · 58 vehicles potentially affected
What's wrong
C & M Trailers Inc. (C&M) is recalling certain 2015-2016 cargo trailers that are over 80 inches wide. The affected trailers were built with side marker lamps mounted over 60 inches high. As such, these trailers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
Other motorists may not be able to identify the correct length of a trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
C&M will notify owners, and dealers will correct the height of the markers, free of charge. The recall began on October 23, 2017. Owners may contact C&M's customer service at 1-972-875-4528.
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

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.
