Weekend Warrior Trailers Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Oct 4, 2005 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 13,447. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
CERTAIN RECREATIONAL TRAILERS DO NOT CONFORM TO THE LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, 'LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT.' AMBER INTERMEDIATE SIDE MARKER LAMPS AND REFLEX REFLECTORS IN VEHICLES LONGER THAN 30' IN OVERALL LENGTH WERE MISSING. ALSO THE ABSENCE OF THE REAR IDENTIFICATION LAMPS IN VEHICLES OVER 80" IN OVERALL WIDTH.
The risk
WITHOUT THIS LIGHTING, AND PARTICULARLY, DURING NIGHT DRIVING CONDITIONS OR WHILE THE TRAILER IS PARKED, OTHER VEHICLES MAY NOT SEE A TRAILER, THEREBY INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The remedy

A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 05V444000.
