What this recall means for you
Fontaine Trailer Company is recalling certain 2023 and 2024 Fontaine HACCFON51CTS 40-foot container trailers. The rear reflex reflectors may be missing, which means the trailers do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 for lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.
Without rear reflex reflectors, the trailer is less visible to other drivers, especially at night or in poor visibility, which increases the risk of a crash.
Fontaine will provide the reflex reflectors free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 5, 2023. If you own an affected trailer, contact Fontaine Trailer customer service at 1-800-821-6535, option 5, and check your VIN for any open recalls.
