EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- The defect
- Boise Mobile Equipment is recalling one 2016 International 4400 type 3 fire truck equipped with Ecco 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 lights 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
- Boise Mobile Equipment will assist the owner in obtaining filter kits from the light manufacturer, free of charge. Owner notification letter was mailed September 3, 2021. Owners may contact Boise Mobile Equipment's customer service at 1-208-338-1444. Boise Mobile Equipment's number for this recall is 52606.
- 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

How this campaign compares
At 1 vehicle this is a small campaign: 100% 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 one model year, 2016, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 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 Boise Mobile Equipment with NHTSA on August 27, 2021 as campaign 21V669000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
