Recall 13V156 affects 410 2012-2013 Libero, Serenity, Regency GT, and Unity motorhomes for weak license plate lighting. Repair is free at any franchised Libero dealer.
Libero is recalling 410 2012-2013 motorhomes, including L24CB and U24MB models, because the license plate light does not illuminate the plate well enough after dark. That can make the vehicle harder to identify at night, and the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The license plate light on 2012-2013 Libero L24CB, GT27S, GT28D, U24MB, S24CB, U24TB, U24IB, U24CB, GT24MB, and GT29T motorhomes is part of the exterior lighting system. Its job is simple: shine enough light on the rear license plate so the plate can be read after dark.
On affected motorhomes, that light does not illuminate the plate enough. The problem is not described as a bulb that burns out or a switch that stops working. The recall says the plate is not visible enough when it is dark, which means the vehicle does not meet the federal lighting standard for lamps and related equipment.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner can inspect the rear plate area with the lights on at night, but the defect itself is a lighting-performance issue, not a drivability symptom from inside the vehicle.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific RV is included.
What's the safety risk?
Without license plate illumination, the vehicle is harder to identify at night. That is the safety risk for this recall. Drive cautiously after dark and schedule the lamp repair so the plate is visible again. Repair will be free at any franchised Libero dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2012-2013 Libero L24CB, GT27S, GT28D, U24MB, S24CB, U24TB, U24IB, U24CB, GT24MB, or GT29T is included in this recall.
- Watch for the Libero owner notice before scheduling the dealer repair.
- Call Libero customer service at 1-877-992-9906 with questions and reference recall number 13V156.
- Ask a franchised Libero dealer about the free license-plate-lamp repair that restores nighttime plate illumination.
- Bring the recall notice to the dealer if you have it.
What happens at the repair
The filing describes the dealer repair as a new license plate lamp installation. Because the repair status is not confirmed here, do not assume the final dealer visit can be scheduled from this page. Once available, a Libero technician installs the new lamp so the license plate is properly illuminated in dark conditions. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. The source does not list a separate reimbursement plan, so this section does not make a reimbursement claim.
