What this recall means for you
Some trucks were built with LED marker lights whose lenses lack built-in reflectors. Without these reflectors, the vehicle is less visible to other drivers, and the truck does not meet the federal lighting and reflective device standard (FMVSS 108).
Reduced visibility can make it harder for other drivers to see your truck, especially at night or in poor weather, which increases the risk of a crash.
Weiler will notify owners and supply reflective decals to be installed at no cost. Contact Weiler customer service at 1-641-828-6622 for details. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
