Defect description

PL Custom Emergency Vehicles (PL Custom) is recalling certain 2016 Freightliner M2 emergency vehicles equipped with Code 3 7x9 Stop-Tail-Turn Reverse All-in-One LED lights.

Safety risk

The excessive brightness may affect the vision of other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
