Summary
HME, Inc (HME) is recalling certain 2017-2018 1871 vehicles, 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."
Consequence
If the brake lights falsely illuminate, other drivers could become confused, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
HME will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Whelen brake lights, free of charge. The recall began March 6, 2019. Owners may contact HME's customer service at 1-616-534-1463.
