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