Cottrell recall: Exterior lighting
What is wrong
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."
What could happen
The lack of the marker lights may reduce the trailer's visibility to others, increasing the risk of a crash.

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.
