The problem
Due to location of the back of the cab reflector being above the 60-inch maximum height, reflectors were to be installed on the rear frame crossmember. Some of these trucks were delivered without the frame mounted reflectors. As a result, these vehicles do not conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment".
The fix
Dealer will inspect and, if necessary, install the required reflectors, without charge to owner.
