Defect. Somerset Welding & Steel Inc. (Somerset) is recalling certain 2017-2018 J&J Truck Bodies Dump Body vehicles equipped with Whelen 40BTTD brake lights.

Risk. If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Somerset Welding & Steel has notified owners and will replace the brake lights, free of charge. The recall began March 7, 2018. Owners may contact J&J Truck Bodies customer service at 1-814-444-7044.

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.
