What's wrong?
The external ABS malfunction indicator light on a 2027 Wabash Van Trailer is mounted at the rear driver's side and signals a problem with the antilock braking system. Its identification label tells an inspector which lamp is the ABS warning light, so the lamp can be recognized during a routine trailer check.
On recalled trailers, the light itself is not identified because the label was left off during assembly. Manufacturing personnel misread the customer-specific assembly instructions, and the omission allowed the trailers to leave production without the marking required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 121.
The missing label is visible before any brake-system problem develops. During a routine motor-carrier inspection, look at the external lamp on the rear driver's side of the trailer. If the ABS identification label is absent, that is the warning sign covered by this recall.
