EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS

Issued by E-One Incorporated · Reported Sep 11, 2018 · 146 vehicles affected

What's wrong

E-One Incorporated (E-One) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Cyclone II, Typhoon and Quest II emergency 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 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

E-One will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake lights, free of charge. The recall began October 26, 2018. Owners may contact E-One customer service at 1-352-861-3612.
