What's wrong?
The rear conspicuity tape on a 2020-2023 Wabash National Rfalhsa trailer is the reflective striping that marks the back of the trailer at deck height. Its job is simple: help other drivers see the trailer's rear outline in low light, at night, and when the trailer is stopped or moving slowly.
On affected trailers, the Waltco WDV-35 Dual Ramp Lift Gate sits over the rear deck-height tape that Wabash National installed. The lift gate was also missing the conspicuity tape that should have been placed on the gate itself. That leaves the required rear reflective marking hidden, so the trailer does not meet FMVSS 108 for lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.
There is no warning sign during normal trailer operation. A walk-around visual inspection is the way to see the condition: look at the lift gate and rear deck height area to confirm that conspicuity tape is present in the required location.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific trailer is included.
What's the safety risk?
Obscured conspicuity tape reduces rear trailer visibility for nearby drivers and increases crash risk, especially when another driver needs to see the trailer from behind. Normal operation gives no warning sign, so a walk around visual inspection is the way to spot the condition. Schedule the repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Wabash National dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020-2023 Wabash National Rfalhsa trailer is included in this recall.
- Contact Wabash National customer service at 1-765-771-5404 to request the free conspicuity tape that restores rear trailer visibility.
- Have the recall notice ready if Wabash National mailed one, and reference recall number 22V758 when you call.
- Install the supplied conspicuity tape before returning the trailer to regular service.
- Use extra caution in low light or traffic until the rear tape is in place.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Wabash National technician handles the conspicuity tape correction at the rear of the trailer, where the lift gate blocked tape placed at deck height. Wabash National supplies the needed tape free under the recall, and parts for the recall correction are covered. If you already paid to correct this noncompliance, Wabash National's recall reimbursement policy covers those costs. Ask Wabash customer service how to submit documentation for repayment.
