NHTSA's recall notice
As NHTSA's recall record states it for campaign 15V857000.
Defect description
McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain model year 2015 Atlantic front loader refuse trucks manufactured May 22, 2015, to October 26, 2015, and equipped with an optional tailgate for a compressed natural gas (CNG) system.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Assoc. Equipment."
Safety consequence
Missing reflectors can cause the vehicle to be less visible to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
