NHTSA 06V487📅 Dec 28, 2006

2005–2006 Race City HD & 2005–2006 Race City Hdxl + 1 more recall: lights

⚠️ What's wrong

The LED stop, tail, turn, and side marker lamp combination package on certain tow trailers fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, 'lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.' the lamps attached to the rear (on the fenders) are not separate from the stop-tail-turn lamp combination and are not thick enough to provide the required level of visibility when viewed from the rear as required by the standard.

💥 The risk

The driver of another vehicle approaching from the rear at night might not see enough of the trailer lights to judge the presence of the trailer's full length and width and could strike the trailer.

🔧 The fix

Each customer will be shipped replacement clearance marker lights and brackets along with installation instructions. Owners will also be able to contact race city to arrange to have the marker lights installed. The recall began on january 18, 2007. Owners may contact race city at 1-866-223-1016.

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.)
