What is wrong

Fire Equipment Sales & Service (FES) is recalling one Super C Brush emergency vehicle and one Tanker emergency vehicle equipped with Whelen brake lights recalled under 18E-063. Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed.

The risk

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

The fix

FES has already notified owners, and replaced the brake lights, free of charge. Owners may contact FES customer service at 1-[removed] or Whelen customer service at 1-[removed].

Notes from the manufacturer

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-[removed] (TTY 1-[removed]), or go to [link removed]
