EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS Recall

Fouts Bros (Fouts) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Fire Apparatus F-3000, F-Rescue and F-Pumper vehicles equipped with Whelen brake lights. Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal is not being pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

Remedy: Fouts has notified owners, and Fouts service centers will replace the brake lights, free of charge. The recall began on March 25, 2019. Owners may contact Fouts customer service at 1-800-948-5045.

Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
