What is wrong
Vac-Tron Equipment, LLC (Vac-Tron), is recalling certain 2020 CVGTLC, CVSGT, CVGT, LPSGT, LPXDT, MINICOMBO and LPSDT Vacuum Excavator trailers.

What could happen
Without the proper reflective equipment, the vacuum excavator trailer may have reduced visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
