What is wrong
W.S. Darley & Co. (Darley) is recalling certain 2017-2019 WASP fire trucks built on a Ford F-550 or Spartan Metro Star chassis equipped with Whelen brake lights.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective devices, and Assoc. Equipment."
What can happen
If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Recall repairs are free of charge.
Darley has notified owners and will provide replacement brake lights, free of charge. The recall began March 18, 2019. Owners may contact Darley customer service at 1-800-634-7812.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
