Defect Description

Riverside RV (Riverside) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Whitewater and Mt. McKinley travel trailers. These trailers were manufactured without rear-facing reflectors and have non-reflective tail lights. 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

Without rear-facing reflectors or reflective tail lights, the vehicle may have reduced visibility from behind, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Riverside will notify owners, and dealers will install reflective tape on the rear bumper below the tail lights, free of charge. The recall began on May 11, 2017. Owners may contact Riverside customer service at 1-260-499-4578.
