What is wrong
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."
What can happen
A blocked clearance light may make the trailer less visible to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will remove the gate brace, free of charge. The recall began on August 9, 2016. Owners may contact Heartland Customer Service Department 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.
