Southeast Apparatus is recalling certain 2017-2018 Tankers, Pumpers, and Rescue vehicles equipped with Whelen brake lights. Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed.
If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Southeast Apparatus will notify owners and Whelen will replace the brake lights, free of charge. The recall began May 1, 2019. Owners may contact Southeast Apparatus customer service at 1-888-996-6277.
