What is wrong
ITI Trailers and Truck Bodies, Inc. is recalling one 3000 Gallon Tanker truck built on a 2018 Peterbilt chassis, equipped with Whelen brake lights.

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

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.
