What's wrong

Frazer is recalling certain 2017-2018 Frazer Type 1 Ambulance, Type 3 Ambulance, and Mobile Stroke Unit emergency vehicles, built on Ford F-350, F-450, F-550, and RAM and Chevrolet 3500, 4500, and 5500 chassis, equipped with Whelen accessory brake lights. Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed.

The risk

If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.

Frazer has notified owners, and dealers will replace the brake lights, free of charge. The recall began September 24, 2018. Owners may contact Frazer customer service at 1-888-372-9371.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
