What this recall means for you
Certain motorhomes may have brake lights that do not adequately reflect light, so the vehicle does not meet federal lighting safety requirements (FMVSS 108). Because other drivers may have trouble seeing the vehicle when it slows or stops, the risk of a rear-end or other crash increases.
The manufacturer will notify owners and will provide a reflex reflector for the brake lights at no cost. The recall began April 9, 2021.
