EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS
- The defect
- Rosenbauer America (Rosenbauer) is recalling certain 2016-2020 Commercial F-550, 2019 Commercial 7500, 2015 Commercial 7400, 2018 Commercial 7400, 2019 Commercial HV613, 2018-2019 Commander, 2017 Warrior, 2019 Warrior, 2016-2020 Commercial M2 106, 2017 Commercial M2 112, and 2021 Commercial 348 vehicles. The rear lights may be too bright. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- The excessive brightness may reduce the vision of other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will provide a filter kit to be installed in the rear lights, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 14, 2021. Owners may contact Rosenbauer customer service at 1-651-462-1000.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 36 vehicles this is a small campaign: 81% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2015 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Rosenbauer vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting once before this, most recently in December 2018 as 18V874000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V475000 (electrical system), 23V894000 (electrical system), 23V536000 (equipment), 22V001000 (fuel system, diesel).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Rosenbauer America with NHTSA on April 23, 2021 as campaign 21V290000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
