Plain-English summary

C&M Trailers Inc. is recalling certain 2016 5x10 Cargo Trailers manufactured between July 1, 2016, and December 1, 2016. The affected trailers may be missing the required license plate illumination, which causes them to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108 regarding lamps and reflective devices.

The lack of trailer lighting may make it difficult for other drivers to see the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash. C&M will notify owners, and dealers will 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. 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.
