What this recall means for you
Certain 2021 Thunder Creek trailers may have fender clearance light wiring that was routed improperly during assembly. Over time, this can cause the lights to stop working.
When the fender clearance lights are inoperable, other drivers may have a harder time seeing the trailer's width and outline, which can increase the risk of a crash.
An authorized dealer will inspect the wiring, reroute the harness as needed, and repair any damaged wires at no cost to you. Owners were notified by mail on September 14, 2021, and can contact LDJ Manufacturing customer service at 1-641-620-4034. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
