Rosenbauer America "Rosenbauer" is recalling certain 2017-2018 Fire Apparatus vehicles, equipped with Whelen accessory brake lights. Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed. As such these vehicles fail to comply to with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard FMVSS 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.
Rosenbauer will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace the brake lights, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began April 24, 2019. Owners may contact Rosenbauer customer service at 1-651-462-1000. Rosenbauer's number for this recall is 18E-063.
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.
