Defect. Custom Truck And Body Works (Custom Truck) is recalling one 2016 Ford F550 vehicle and one 2018 International 4000 vehicle equipped with 7x9 combination LED Stop-Tail-Turn reverse lights. The lights may be too bright, exceeding the maximum light output allowed which may adversely affect the vision of drivers. 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."

Risk. The excessive brightness may affect the vision of other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Custom Truck has notified owners, and the light manufacturer, ECCO, will provide a lens filter to dim the light, free of charge. The recall began February 16, 2021. Owners may contact Custom Truck customer service at 1-888-712-2962.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
