Defect description

McNeilus Truck & Manufacturing, Inc. (McNeilus) is recalling certain 2010-2024 Rear Loader vehicles. The license plate light was installed in the wrong location and may not fully illuminate the license plate.

An improperly illuminated license plate reduces the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
