Palfinger, Inc. "Palfinger" is recalling certain 2017-2025 FHS 55 and GLS 55 vehicles. The outer rear marker lights were installed in the incorrect location. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Incorrectly positioned lights can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will install a steel plate and relocate the lights, free of charge. Owners may contact Palfinger customer service at 1-712-256-9347.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 'TTY 888-275-9171' or go to nhtsa.gov.
