What is wrong
Vac-Tron Equipment, LLC. (Vac-Tron) is recalling certain 2015-2019 LP873SDT Heavy, Vacuum Excavator-dual axle trailers. The trailer may lack front and rear lights, including clearance lamps, reflex reflectors, and side reflex reflectors. The trailers may also may have an insufficient amount of reflective tape on the sides and rear. 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
Due to the lack of lamps and insufficient reflective tape, the trailer may not be visible at night, increasing the risk of crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Vac-Tron will notify owners and dealers will move the marker lights to the compliant position, and install lower chassis extension, conspicuity tape, and reflectors, free of charge. The recall began August 1, 2019. Owners may contact Vac-Tron customer service at 1-888-822-8766.

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.
