Defect. Southeast Apparatus is recalling certain 2017-2018 Tankers, Pumpers, and Rescue vehicles equipped with Whelen brake lights. Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed.

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

Remedy. Southeast Apparatus will notify owners and Whelen will replace the brake lights, free of charge. The recall began May 1, 2019. Owners may contact Southeast Apparatus customer service at 1-888-996-6277.

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.
