EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
Issued by Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. · Reported Sep 11, 2018 · 108 vehicles affected
What's wrong
Ferrara Fire Apparatus, Inc. (Ferrara) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Ferrara Inferno, Igniter, Cinder, Ultra, and Intruder 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
Ferrara will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake lights, free of charge. The recall began November 1, 2018. Owners may contact Ferrara customer service at 1-800-443-9006.
