What's wrong?
On the 2017 Supreme Kold King, Signature Van, and Iner-City, the affected parts are the rear and side reflex reflectors. These small exterior reflectors do not make light on their own. Their job is to bounce another driver's headlights back, so the body of the van or truck is easier to see from the side or rear in low light.
The problem is that some vehicles left the factory without the required reflectors installed. Supreme traced the issue to reflectors being left off the build list for orders entered between July 1, 2017 and October 20, 2017. When the part is missing, nothing else on the vehicle automatically replaces that reflected side or rear visibility.
An owner can check for this visually. Look for missing side or rear reflectors on the exterior body, especially where reflective devices are expected near the rear corners and along the sides.

A matching 2017 Supreme model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
Missing reflectors make the vehicle harder for other drivers to see, which increases the risk of a crash. Because this noncompliance is visible, inspect the reflector locations and schedule the free remedy if pieces are missing. Repair is free at any franchised Supreme dealer.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 17V738?

What should I do if my 2017 Supreme Kold King, Signature Van, or Iner-City is on this recall?

Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to correct the defect at no cost. Supreme will provide the replacement rear or side reflex reflectors and mounting instructions free of charge, so owners do not pay for the recall remedy.
