What is wrong
Heartland Trailer Mfg. (Heartland) is recalling certain model year 2016 18' Carhauler dovetail trailers manufactured December 1, 2015, to April 30, 2016. The affected trailers have clearance lights that are not visible from the rear of the trailer. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Assoc. Equipment."
What can happen
Without visible clearance lights, the trailer is at an increased risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will install P2-rated beehive-style clearance lamps on the front and rear sides of the trailer, free of charge. The recall began on July 22, 2016. Owners may contact Heartland customer service at 1-573-471-6826.

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.
