What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Boise Mobile Equipment is recalling one 2016 International 4400 type 3 fire truck equipped with Ecco Code 3 7x9 Stop-Tail-Turn Reverse All-in-One LED lights. The lights may be too bright, exceeding the maximum light output allowed which may adversely affect the vision of drivers. As such, these lights fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The risk

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

The remedy

Boise Mobile Equipment will assist the owner in obtaining filter kits from the light manufacturer, free of charge. Owner notification letter was mailed September 3, 2021. Owners may contact Boise Mobile Equipment's customer service at 1-208-338-1444. Boise Mobile Equipment's number for this recall is 52606.

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.nhtsa.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.
