The problem
Supreme Corporation (Supreme) is recalling certain 2007-2017 Signature Van and Kold King vehicles equipped with oval taillights installed in the rear corner posts. The affected vehicles have rear reflex reflectors that may have been mounted more than 60 inches above the road surface. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
A reflector that is mounted too high may not be effectively illuminated by headlights at night, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Supreme will notify owners, and will provide new rear reflex reflectors for any vehicle whose existing reflector height exceeds 60 inches, free of charge. The recall began on August 8, 2017. Owners may contact Supreme customer service at 1-800-642-4889.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
