What was wrong

Defect

Heartland Trailer Mfg. (Heartland) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 Revolution trailers manufactured September 1, 2015, to April 30, 2016. The affected trailers have a rear clearance light that is covered by a brace for the rear gate. 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."

Risk

A blocked clearance light may make the trailer less visible to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Heartland will notify owners, and dealers will remove the gate brace, free of charge. The recall began on August 9, 2016. Owners may contact Heartland Customer Service Department at 1-573-471-6826.
