Exterior Lighting · reported Jul 31, 2018
I have now contacted manteca trailer 4 times. Each time they told me they would "look up my account and get back to you". I have yet to hear back and I AM extremely frustrated. The recall is for LED lights that may catch fire so we do not feel safe using the trailer. I paid 27,000 dollars for something I can't use. Please help.
