What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ITI Trailers and Truck Bodies, Inc. is recalling one 3000 Gallon Tanker truck built on a 2018 Peterbilt chassis, 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, the vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The risk

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

The remedy

ITI Trailers and Truck Bodies has notified the owners and replaced the lights, free of charge. The recall began January 15, 2019. Customers may contact ITI Trailers and Truck Bodies at 1-814-634-008.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
