19V280000 · Exterior Lighting:Brake Lights
Reported: 2019-04-09 (April 9, 2019) · Model years: 2018, 2019
Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is 2018-2019 Frontline C-35X, C-25, C-45X-3 and Encore 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. 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."
Consequence: If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Pierce has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and replace brake lights, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began April 23, 2019. Owners may contact Whelen customer service at 1-860-718-2331 or Pierce at 1-888-974-3723. Pierce's number for this recall is FLCWBL0419.
