Summary

Fontaine Trailer Company is recalling 545 of its 2023-2024 HACCFON51CTS 40-foot container trailers because they may have been manufactured without rear reflex reflectors. These reflectors are required by federal safety standards to ensure the trailer is visible to other motorists during low-light conditions. Fontaine will provide the necessary reflectors to owners at no cost to resolve this safety non-compliance.

Risk

Missing rear reflectors significantly reduce the visibility of the trailer to drivers approaching from behind, which increases the likelihood of a rear-end collision or other crash, especially at night or in poor weather.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your trailer identification plate to determine if you own a 2023-2024 Fontaine HACCFON51CTS 40-foot container trailer.
  2. Inspect the rear of the trailer to confirm if the red reflex reflectors are present as required by safety standards.
  3. Contact Fontaine Trailer customer service at 1-800-821-6535, option 5, to arrange for the delivery of free reflex reflectors.
  4. For additional information or questions, you may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
