2019 VAC-TRON CS 1270 GT Complaints and Recall Information
The 2019 VAC-TRON CS 1270 GT has zero complaints and six recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners mostly report issues related to safety equipment and structural concerns noted in the recalls. No individual complaints have been recorded for this model year.
There are six recalls affecting various safety components and structural elements. The recalls mainly address improper exterior lighting and rear impact protection systems, both critical for safe operation and visibility. The majority of affected units require remedy kits installed by authorized dealers.
Recalls- Exterior lighting (Camp No. VVK0009). Twenty-one vehicles were recalled due to front clearance lamps positioned improperly and insufficient conspicuity tape on sides and rear. Missing side and rear reflex reflectors cause failure to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108, increasing crash risk in low visibility. The remedy involves dealer-installed kits at no charge.
- Exterior lighting (Camp No. VVK0008). One hundred ten vehicles recalled for the same lighting defects as above, affecting multiple Vac-Tron models including the CS 1270 GT. Owners receive notice and free installation of remedy kits. No "Do Not Drive" advisory was issued.
- Body bumpers and structure (Camp No. VVK0009). Twenty-one trailers were recalled because the rear most extremity extends too far beyond the trailer frame, reducing rear impact protection under FMVSS 224. This creates increased risk of severe injury or death in rear collisions. A fix kit is provided and installed by dealers at no charge.
- Structure (Camp No. VVK0009). This is a duplicate recall affecting the same twenty-one vehicles and defect as the previous bumper-related recall. Owners are notified with free remedy kit installation.
- Structure (Camp No. VVK0008). One hundred ten trailers face a similar rear extremity issue reducing impact protection. The recall covers various models including the CS 1270 GT. Remedy kits are installed by dealers without a park outside or do not drive advisory.
Owners of the 2019 VAC-TRON CS 1270 GT facing repeated repairs or unresolved issues related to recalls or safety defects may want to consider their rights under state lemon laws. Consulting with a consumer protection attorney can help clarify available remedies for ongoing problems.
