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 where the defect increases the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported.

Plain-English summary

Wabash National Corporation is recalling certain 2020-2023 RFALHSA trailers. The recall addresses a defect where the lift gate obscures the rear conspicuity tape placed at deck height. This condition causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The obscured conspicuity tape may reduce the visibility of the rear of the trailer for nearby drivers, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Owners will be notified by mail, with letters mailed on November 4, 2022. Wabash will supply the necessary conspicuity tape free of charge. Owners may contact Wabash's customer service at 1-765-771-5404 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
