What is wrong
CERTAIN TILT DECK TRAILERS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." THESE TRAILERS WERE NOT MANUFACTURED WITH THE RETRO REFLECTIVE SHEETING ON THE SIDE RAILS OF THE TRAILER.
What can happen
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
Recall repairs are free of charge.
OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH REPAIR PARTS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. COAST MACHINERY WILL ALSO PROVIDE REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE LABOR INVOLVED TO INSTALL THE LIGHT BAR. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 6, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT COAST MACHINERY AT 1-225-753-1323.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
