2005 Fleetwood Scorpion recall: lights
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain toy hauler trailers fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." the rear and rear-side marker lights were purchased and installed without the reflex reflector capability.
💥 The risk
During night driving conditions or while the vehicle is parked, the rear and rear-side marker lights will not provide any reflex reflection to mark the vehicle's location in the dark increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will remove and replace four marker lights with a surface mount bracket free of charge. The recall began on may 11, 2005. Owners may contact fleetwood folding at 1-800-322-8216.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
