C&M recall: Exterior lighting
What is wrong
C & M Trailers Inc. (C&M) is recalling certain 2015-2016 cargo trailers that are over 80 inches wide. The affected trailers were built with side marker lamps mounted over 60 inches high. As such, these trailers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
What could happen
Other motorists may not be able to identify the correct length of a trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
C&M will notify owners, and dealers will correct the height of the markers, free of charge. The recall began on October 23, 2017. Owners may contact C&M's customer service at 1-972-875-4528.
