What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Curbtender, Inc. (Curbtender) is recalling certain 2018 Ford F-650 and QT06 vehicles with curbtenders 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.

The risk

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

The remedy

Curbtender will notify owners and dealers will replace the brake lights, free of charge. The recall began February 4, 2020. Owners may contact Curbtender customer service at 1-319-266-1721.

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.
