STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS
- The defect
- Pierce Manufacturing (Pierce) is recalling certain 2020 Enforcer, 2021-2022 Velocity, and 2023 Saber vehicles equipped with a specific rear bumper option. The bumper may partially obstruct the rear lights. 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
- Partially obstructed rear lights can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Pierce will reposition the lights, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 15, 2024. Owners may contact Pierce customer service at 1-888-974-3723. Pierce's number for this recall is 74B333.
- 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 2020 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Pierce vehicles have been recalled over the structure 6 times before this, most recently in June 2023 as 23V407000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V217000 (equipment), 23V823000 (electrical system), 23V096000 (equipment), 22V809000 (equipment).
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 Pierce Manufacturing with NHTSA on February 21, 2024 as campaign 24V127000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
