Defect. Cottrell, Inc. (Cottrell) is recalling certain 2019-2022 2-Car Carrier vehicles. Four side-rear reflex reflectors are missing. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamp, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Risk. Missing reflex reflectors reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Cottrell will provide a reflex reflector kit, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed February 2, 2022. Owners may contact Cottrell customer service at 1-866-299-2690. Cottrell's number for this recall is 2021 2-Car Reflector.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
