This is an independent copy of the official notice, kept so you can see what changed. CarsMultiverse is not a safety authority: to act on this recall, use the authority’s own version at NHTSA, or the official register for your country (linked at the foot of this page).
What the authority says can happen if this is not fixed: “A detach light tower can become a road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.”

What the notice says today
The defect
Light Boy America, Inc (Light Boy) is recalling certain 2020 and 2023 Light Boy GBX12SK light towers. The trailer frame may bend at the tow bar, causing the light tower to detach.
The consequence
A detach light tower can become a road hazard for other vehicles, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
The remedy
Dealers will install a new bracket or a reinforcement cover, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed by October 31, 2026. Owners may contact Light Boy customer service at 1-800-421-1244.
What it said before
Nothing has changed while we have been watching. We last read the wording of this campaign on 5 September 2026, and it matched the copy we already held.
That copy hashes to cfc050fe38dc92a13b3d3d288f547414…, so if it is ever edited the change is provable rather than a matter of memory.
This is one of 142 notices in the record whose component field names trailer hitches. Across that group the median wait before owners were written to was 32 days.
Last checked . No change has been recorded in the wording.
How to cite this record
Quoting the wording on this page means quoting a version, so the date belongs in the citation:
CarsMultiverse, recall 26V564, wording as read on 5 September 2026. https://carsmultiverse.com/recall/26v564/
The copy quoted above hashes to cfc050fe38dc92a13b3d3d288f547414…. If the notice is reworded later, that fingerprint will not match, which is how a reader checks that the quotation was of the version we say it was.
The cross-border matches used on this site are deposited as a citable dataset: doi:10.5281/zenodo.22087136. The recall wording itself is published by the national authority named above and is theirs, not ours.
