The problem
On certain fifth wheel trailers, the taillight sockets may not maintain contact with the bulb. The taillights may not function reliably.
The risk
Failure to remedy this situation may result in an increased risk of a rear end collision while driving due to other drivers not being warned on stopping or turning.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the taillight sockets and replace them free of charge. The recall began on april 30, 2007. Owners may contact keystone at 1-866-425-4369.
