Defect. 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, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

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

Remedy. 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.

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.
