Maxon Lift Corp. (“Maxon”), a Santa Fe Springs, California establishment, has recalled an estimated 2,280 model year GPTLR and GPTWR Lift Gates that contain License Plate Kits sold with a part number of 298872-01 that includes Light part number 908120-01 marketed, sold and delivered in the United States.

Recall Category: Structure, Exterior Lighting – Lift Gate License Plate Light Alignment/FMVSS 108

NHTSA Safety Notification 20E034000 reports that if installed, the License Plate Light may aim rearward and not towards the License Plate as required.
