EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
Issued by REV Ambulance Group Orlando, INC. · Reported Sep 8, 2018 · 459 vehicles affected
What's wrong
REV Ambulance Group Orland, Inc. (REV) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Road Rescue, Marque, Wheeled Coach, Frontline, and McCoy Miller Type I and Type III ambulances, 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 with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Consequence
If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
REV will notify owners, and Whelen will replace the brake lights, free of charge. The recall began October 19, 2018. Owners may contact REV customer service at 1-855-661-9232.
