What's wrong?
The rear side reflex reflectors on the 2018 Rebel West Powersports Rebel R4 Lsv are small reflective devices mounted near the rear sides of the vehicle. They return light from another vehicle's headlights, so the rear corners are easier to see when the vehicle is parked or moving in low light.
On the recalled vehicle, those rear side reflectors were not installed after the rear fenders were replaced. The fenders had been changed because of loading damage after the vehicle left Rebel West Powersports, and the replacement work left the required reflectors off the vehicle. That missing equipment means the vehicle does not meet the federal lighting and reflective-device standard for this location.
There is no warning sign before failure. This is not a part that wears out or triggers a dashboard light; the issue is that the reflectors are missing, so an owner would need a visual inspection to see the problem.
