C & M Trailers Inc.: Exterior Lighting
C & M Trailers Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Dec 22, 2016 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 35. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
C&M Trailers Inc. (C&M) is recalling certain 2016 5x10 Cargo Trailers manufactured July 1, 2016, to December 1, 2016. The affected trailers may be missing the required license plate illumination. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirement of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
A lack of trailer lighting may make it difficult for other drivers to see the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
C&M will notify owners, and dealers correct the lights and install a new license plate cover, free of charge. The recall began on February 21, 2017. Owners may contact C&M customer service at 1-972-875-4528.

What this page is, and what to do next
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 16V924000.
