What NHTSA recorded

The lighting placement was incorrectly installed. This installation will not pass the photometrics test because it utilizes the amber marker clearance lights with reflectorized lenses. This constitutes a non-compliance to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment".

Remedy

The dealer will change the light lens to a non-reflectorized lens and add a reflector on each corner at the front of the trailer.
