Defect description

Ride The Ducks International LLC (RTDI) is recalling certain 1999-2002 Stretch Amphibious passenger vehicles. The headlights may have been mounted 56" above the ground instead of being mounted between 22" and 54" above the ground as is required to prevent the headlights from blinding oncoming traffic. 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."

Safety risk

If the headlights are not installed within the required limits, it can cause a decrease in visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

RTDI will notify owners, and dealers will relocate the headlights to the proper height requirements, free of charge. The recall began on April 20, 2017. Owners may contact RTDI customer service at 1-417-266-7600.

Notes

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.
