Defect. Toyne, Inc. (Toyne) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Fire Apparatus trucks, equipped with Whelen accessory brake lights. Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, the brake lights may falsely illuminate even without the brake pedal being 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."

Risk. If the brake lights falsely illuminate, other drivers could become confused, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Toyne will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake lights, free of charge. The recall began February 27, 2019. Owners may contact Toyne customer service at 1-712-673-2328 or Whelen customer service at 1-860-718-2331.

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.
