Ditch Witch trailers may be missing side reflex reflectors near the front of the trailer.
The short version
Charles Machine Works, Inc. reported a problem with the exterior lighting. Here is what owners need to know.
The trailers may be missing side reflex reflectors near the front of the trailer. 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."
Without the proper reflective equipment, the vacuum excavator trailer may have reduced visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Charles Machine will notify owners, and dealers will inspect for side reflex reflectors, and add them as necessary, free of charge.
