Weiler recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Weiler, Inc. (Weiler) is recalling certain model year 2002-2016 B2, B3, B5, F1, F3, F5, M100, M200, and WT4000 trucks manufactured April 8, 2003, to March 21, 2016. These trucks may have been produced with LED marker lights that do not have reflectors built into the lenses, thus reducing the visibility of the truck. 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."
What could happen
Missing reflectors can reduce the visibility of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Weiler will notify owners will supply reflective decals to be installed, free of charge. The recall began on May 20, 2016. Owners may contact Weiler customer service at 1-641-828-6622.
