The issue
Certain fifth wheel and travel trailers fail to comply with the requirements of CMVSS 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. Rear lighting does not contain integral reflectors, nor were additional reflectors provided. This could render the vehicle less visible to other motorist during hours of darkness, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash causing personal injury or death. Correction: Airstream will mail reflectors to owners along with instructions for proper installation. Customers will have the option of installing the reflectors themselves or taking the trailer to the nearest Airstream dealer to have them installed free of charge.
Description (français)
Certaines roulottes à sellette et caravanes classiques ne satisfont pas aux exigences de la NSVAC 108 - Système d'éclairage et dispositifs rétroréfléchissants. L'éclairage arrière ne comporte ni réflecteurs intégraux ni réflecteurs supplémentaires. Cela pourrait rendre le véhicule moins visible pour les autres automobilistes lorsqu'il fait noir, ce qui pourrait causer un accident avec blessés ou pertes de vies. Correction : Airstream devra envoyer par la poste des réflecteurs aux propriétaires ainsi que des instructions permettant de les poser adéquatement. Les clients pourront poser les réflecteurs eux-mêmes ou apporter leur véhicule chez le concessionnaire Airstream le plus près pour les faire poser gratuitement.
