Pierce Saber Recall 24V127: Rear Lights May Be Blocked by Bumper, Raising Crash Risk

NHTSA campaign 24V127, reported February 21, 2024, 4 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain rear bumpers on these vehicles may partially obstruct the rear lights, so the lights may not be fully visible to other drivers. This means the vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 for lamps and reflective devices.

Reduced rear light visibility can make it harder for other drivers to see your vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash. If you own an affected vehicle, contact Pierce Manufacturing customer service at 1-888-974-3723 to schedule the repair.

Pierce will reposition the lights at no cost to you, and the repair is performed at an authorized dealer. Owner notification letters were mailed April 15, 2024. You can also check your VIN for any open recalls on your vehicle.
