Supreme Curtainside Recall 18V541: Clearance lights may be hard to see, raising crash risk

NHTSA campaign 18V541, reported August 16, 2018, 440 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain trucks have intermediate clearance lights mounted on an angled roof rail bracket. These lights may have limited visibility, so other drivers may not see the vehicle as well as they should. The vehicles also do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 for lamps and reflective devices.

Reduced visibility can increase the risk of a crash. Other drivers may not notice your truck in time, especially in low-light conditions.
