The problem
Reading Truck Body LLC (Reading) is recalling certain 2022-2024 RM-78 11' and RM-78 14' vehicles. The taillight may be incorrectly positioned, exceeding the maximum allowed height. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
Incorrectly mounted taillights can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will relocate the taillights, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 10, 2024. Owners may contact Reading customer service at 1-800-458-2226.
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.nhtsa.gov.
