The problem
VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT", BECAUSE SOME TRAILERS DO NOT HAVE FRONT AND REAR SIDE MARKER LAMPS AND REFLECTORS OR FRONT AND REAR CLEARANCE LAMPS AND REFLECTORS. IN ADDITION, SOME TRAILERS HAVE IMPROPERLY LOCATED FRONT AND REAR SIDE MARKER LAMPS AND REFLECTORS OR FRONT AND REAR CLEARANCE LAMPS AND REFLECTORS.
The fix
DEALERS WILL CHECK TRAILERS TO SEE IF LIGHTS AND REFLECTIVE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED AND ARE IN THE PROPER PLACE. IF NOT, THEY WILL BE INSTALLED OR PLACED IN THE PROPER POSITION. THIS WILL BE DONE AT NO COST TO OWNERS.
