What is wrong
Reading Truck Body LLC (Reading) is recalling certain 2022-2024 RM-78 11' and RM-78 14' vehicles. The taillight may be incorrectly positioned, exceeding the maximum allowed height. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
What could happen
Incorrectly mounted taillights can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
