• Recall 2015507 [Canada]: Lights and instruments
  Certain brush chipper and stump cutter units may not comply with the requirements of canada motor vehicle safety standard 108 - lighting system and retro reflective devices. During manufacturing, the side marker led lights installed did not include a reflex reflector built into the lens and no other reflex reflectors were installed on the sides of the trailers, which fails to meet the requirements of the standard. This could reduce vehicle conspicuity, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
