Weiler, Inc. "Weiler" is recalling certain model year 2002-2016 B2, B3, B5, F1, F3, F5, M100, M200, and WT4000 trucks manufactured April 8, 2003, to March 21, 2016. These trucks may have been produced with LED marker lights that do not have reflectors built into the lenses, thus reducing the visibility of the truck.
