EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS
- The defect
- DRV Suites (DRV) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Mobile Suites fifth wheels. The tail, stop, and turn lights may have been incorrectly placed, with the top portion of the lights above 72 inches high. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- Incorrectly placed rear lights may reduce vehicle visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the light heights, and install additional lights as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 26, 2022. Owners may contact DRV customer service at 1-260-562-3500.
- 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 491 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 50% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
DRV vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting 2 times before this, most recently in August 2015 as 15V491000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 22V292000 (equipment), 21V733000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 21V726000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
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 DRV Suites with NHTSA on August 29, 2022 as campaign 22V649000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
