Heartland Trailer Mfg affected trailers have a rear clearance light that is covered by a brace for the rear gate.
The short version
Heartland Trailer Mfg reported a problem with the exterior lighting. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected trailers have a rear clearance light that is covered by a brace for the rear gate. 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."
A blocked clearance light may make the trailer less visible to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will remove the gate brace, free of charge.
