Marion Body Works Inc. "Marion" is recalling certain 2017-2018 Fire and Emergency Apparatus vehicles equipped with Whelen brake lights. Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal is not being pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" number 108, "Lamps, Reflective devices, and Associated Equipment."
If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Marion will notify owners, and Whelen will replace the brake lights, free of charge. The recall began March 3, 2019. Owners may contact Whelen customer service at 1-860-526-4078.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.safercar.gov.
