EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- The defect
- Supreme Corporation (Supreme) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Wabash National Supreme Dry Freight Body vehicles equipped with certain Maxon GPTLR and GPTWR liftgates. A license plate light may have been installed that aims rearward and not towards the license plate. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- A license plate light aimed toward other drivers may increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Supreme will work with Maxon to provide replacement license plate kits, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 19, 2022. Owners may contact Supreme customer service at 1-844-352-4921.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 20 vehicles this is a small campaign: 87% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Supreme vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting 5 times before this, most recently in May 2019 as 19V345000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Supreme Corporation with NHTSA on November 4, 2021 as campaign 21V859000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
