What this recall means for you
Front side reflex reflectors on these fifth wheel travel trailers may be mounted above the 60-inch maximum height allowed by federal lighting standards. Because the reflectors are outside the required area, the trailer may be less visible to other drivers.
Reduced visibility can make it harder for other drivers to see your trailer, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners of affected trailers should take this seriously and act on the recall.
DRV will provide a new reflector to install in the correct location at no cost. You can contact DRV customer service at 1-260-562-3500 and reference recall number 99.02.05. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
