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. 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."

Safety risk

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

Manufacturer remedy

PL Custom will notify the owners, and provide instructions on how to obtain a filter kit from the light manufacturer, free of charge. All vehicles were repaired October 2021. Owners may contact PL Custom's customer service at 1-732-223-1411.
