What this recall means for you
On certain 2019-2020 dry freight body vehicles fitted with specific Maxon liftgates, the license plate light may have been installed so it points rearward instead of at the license plate. This means the plate is not properly lit, and the light can be aimed toward other drivers, which may increase the risk of a crash. The vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 for lamps and reflective devices.
If you own an affected vehicle, contact Supreme customer service at 1-844-352-4921. Supreme will work with Maxon to provide replacement license plate light kits free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 19, 2022.
You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls, and have the free repair done at an authorized dealer.
