What this recall means for you

Incorrectly positioned taillights can be harder for other drivers to see, which raises the risk of a crash. If you own one of these vehicles, contact Reading customer service at 1-800-458-2226 or take your vehicle to an authorized dealer. The dealer will relocate the taillights at no cost to you.
