What is wrong
TAP Worldwide, LLC (TAP) is recalling certain Poison Spyder Customs-brand Tire Carriers, part number 19-62-030TP1, sold as aftermarket parts. These Tire Carriers may not provide a license plate lamp or center high-mounted brake light and may also cause the rear visibility camera system to be inoperable. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment," and number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."
What can happen
Without a high-mounted brake light, the warning given to others that the vehicle is slowing or stopping may be limited. If the rear camera is inoperable, the driver may have reduced visibility of what is behind the vehicle. Either condition can increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
TAP will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Poison Spyder Tire Carrier, free of charge. The recall began February 12, 2019. Owners may contact TAP customer service at 1-888-376-1417.

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.
