2017–2018 Ldv, Inc. Command Center & 2017–2018 Ldv, Inc. Emergency Response recall: lights
⚠️ What's wrong
LDV, Inc., (LDV) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Command Center and Emergency Response support vehicles. Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed. 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."
💥 The risk
If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
LDV has notified owners and Whelen dealers will replace the brake lights, free of charge. The recall began on April 9, 2019. Owners may contact Whelen customer service at 1-860-718-2331.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
