Fontaine recall: Exterior lighting
What is wrong
Fontaine Trailer Company (Fontaine Trailer) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Fontaine HACCFON51CTS 40-foot container trailers. The trailers may be missing the rear reflex reflectors. As such, these trailers fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, ÂLamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
What could happen
Missing rear reflex reflectors reduce the trailer's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Fontaine will provide the reflex reflectors, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 5, 2023. Owners may contact Fontaine Trailer customer service at 1-800-821-6535, option 5.
