What this recall means for you
Certain Rosenbauer fire and emergency vehicles have rear brake and tail lights that are brighter than federal lighting standards allow. The lights may reduce the vision of other drivers, which increases the risk of a crash.
Because the lights do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108, the manufacturer is required to correct them. Owners were notified by mail on June 14, 2021.
Dealers will install a filter kit in the rear lights at no charge. To confirm whether your vehicle is included, check your VIN for open recalls or contact Rosenbauer customer service at 1-651-462-1000.
