The problem

Cottrell, Inc. (Cottrell) is recalling certain 2018-2019 1-Car trailers. The vehicles may be missing marker lights at the center of the bottom rear of the trailer. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The risk

The lack of the marker lights may reduce the trailer's visibility to others, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Cottrell has notified the owner of the affected trailers and has been working to schedule the modification of all units, free of charge. No additional owner letters will be mailed. The recall began on October 28, 2019. Owners may contact Cottrell at 1-800-827-0132. Cottrell's number for this recall is 1-car.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
