What's wrong?
The front cap LED light on the 2017 Cruiser Rv Shadow Cruiser, Radiance, Stryker Toy, Fun Finder, Mpg, and South Fork is the exterior light mounted on the front face of the trailer. It is wired into the trailer's electrical system and is meant to light that front cap area without overheating the wiring or the lamp assembly.
On affected trailers, the switched Dehco LED cap light can short circuit. A short circuit sends current where it does not belong, which builds heat in the light or wiring instead of powering the lamp normally. Cruiser Rv had not determined the exact cause, but the recalled light differs from the replacement style, which has built-in voltage protection.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not wait for flickering, a smell, or a visible mark on the front cap before treating the recall as active for an included VIN.
