DRV Recalls 2021-2022 Mobile Suites Fifth Wheels for Tail Light Placement

DRV is recalling 2021-2022 Mobile Suites fifth wheels because tail, stop, and turn lights may be placed too high, reducing visibility and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (reduced visibility increasing crash risk) where no specific injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for theoretical or unreported injury risks.

Plain-English summary

DRV Suites is recalling certain 2021-2022 Mobile Suites fifth wheels. The tail, stop, and turn lights on these vehicles may have been incorrectly placed, with the top portion of the lights positioned above 72 inches high. This placement causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Incorrectly placed rear lights may reduce vehicle visibility, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text, but the recall covers the 2021 and 2022 model years of the Mobile Suites fifth wheel.

Dealers will inspect the light heights and install additional lights as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 26, 2022. Owners may contact DRV customer service at 1-260-562-3500 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
