Recall 05V-553: 1980–2005 Coast Machinery Marsh Master I, 1990–2005 Coast Machinery Marsh Master II
COAST MACHINERY, INC. recall for exterior lighting, reported to NHTSA on Dec 6, 2005, covering about 167 vehicles.
The problem
Certain tilt deck trailers fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (Fmvss) no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." these trailers were not manufactured with the retro reflective sheeting on the side rails of the trailer.
The risk
During night driving conditions or while the vehicle is parked, the rear and rear-side marker lights will not provide any reflex reflection to mark the vehicle's location in the dark increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Owners will be provided with repair parts and installation instructions. Coast machinery will also provide reimbursement for the labor involved to install the light bar. The recall began on march 6, 2006. Owners may contact coast machinery at 1-225-753-1323.
