EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TAIL LIGHTS
- The defect
- Reading Truck Body LLC (Reading) is recalling certain 2022-2024 RM-78 11' and RM-78 14' vehicles. The taillight may be incorrectly positioned, exceeding the maximum allowed height. 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 mounted taillights can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will relocate the taillights, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 10, 2024. Owners may contact Reading customer service at 1-800-458-2226.
- 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 54 vehicles this is a small campaign: 77% 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 2022 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
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 Reading Truck Body LLC with NHTSA on April 29, 2024 as campaign 24V305000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
