The problem
Midwest Fire Equipment & Repair Company (Midwest) is recalling one 2017 All-Poly Series vehicle. The stop light switch on this vehicle may not illuminate the brake lights when the brakes are applied. As such, this vehicle fails to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
The risk
If the brakes lights do not illuminate when the brakes are pressed, other drivers may not know that the vehicle is slowing or stopping thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Midwest will notify the owner, and a Peterbilt dealer will inspect and replace the affected brake light switch, free of charge. The recall began on February 10, 2017. Owners may contact Peterbilt customer service at 1-940-591-4000 or Midwest customer service at 1-800-344-2059.
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.
