Defect Description

Morbark Inc. (Morbark) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Beever M15R wood-chipper trailers manufactured February 6, 2013, to August 3, 2016, and Beever M20R wood-chipper trailers manufactured January 5, 2009, to August 3, 2016. The stop lights and tail lights on the affected vehicles may be located too high to be easily seen. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Safety Consequence

Rear lights that cannot easily be seen increase the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Morbark will notify owners and dealers will install a kit that repositions the lights, free of charge. The recall began on November 4, 2016. Owners may contact Morbark customer service at 1-517-866-2381.
