2016 C&m Cargo Trailer recall: lights
⚠️ What's wrong
C&M Trailers Inc. (C&M) is recalling certain 2016 5x10 Cargo Trailers manufactured July 1, 2016, to December 1, 2016. The affected trailers may be missing the required license plate illumination. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirement of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
💥 The risk
A lack of trailer lighting may make it difficult for other drivers to see the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
C&M will notify owners, and dealers correct the lights and install a new license plate cover, free of charge. The recall began on February 21, 2017. Owners may contact C&M customer service at 1-972-875-4528.
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.)
