The defect

Rosenbauer America (Rosenbauer) is recalling certain 2016-2020 Commercial F-550, 2019 Commercial 7500, 2015 Commercial 7400, 2018 Commercial 7400, 2019 Commercial HV613, 2018-2019 Commander, 2017 Warrior, 2019 Warrior, 2016-2020 Commercial M2 106, 2017 Commercial M2 112, and 2021 Commercial 348 vehicles. The rear lights may be too bright.

The risk

The excessive brightness may reduce the vision of other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will provide a filter kit to be installed in the rear lights, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 14, 2021. Owners may contact Rosenbauer customer service at 1-651-462-1000.

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.
