Description

Heartland Trailer Mfg. (Heartland) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Revolution trailers manufactured September 1, 2015, to April 30, 2016. 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.
