EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- The defect
- Swab Wagon Company, Inc. (Swab Wagon) is recalling certain 2017 Chevrolet 2500 HD, 2018-2019 Chevrolet 3500 HD, and 2019 Ford F-350 Swab Pioneer medic vehicles equipped with Code 3 7x9 Stop-Tail-Turn Reverse All-in-One LED lights. The lights may be too bright, exceeding the maximum light output allowed which may adversely affect the vision of drivers. As such, these lamps fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- The excessive brightness may affect the vision of other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Swab Wagon will provide instructions on how to obtain a filter kit from the light manufacturer, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 26, 2021. Owners may contact Swab Wagon's customer service at 1-800-834-7922.
- 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.nhtsa.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 4 vehicles this is a small campaign: 96% 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 2017 to 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
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 Swab Wagon Company, Inc. with NHTSA on August 17, 2021 as campaign 21V643000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
