Defect. Mickey Truck Bodies, Inc. (Mickey Truck) is recalling certain 2017 Freightliner M2, M2-106, International 4300, and 2018 Peterbilt 220 vehicles equipped with certain model lift gates that contain a license plate kit with part number 298872-01. The light kit does not properly illuminate the license plate, shining rearward, instead of downward as intended.

Risk. The improper lighting may confuse other drivers on the road, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Dealers will provide a replacement license plate kit, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 10, 2021. Owners may contact Mickey Truck customer service at 1-336-888-2291.

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.
