Defect: Foundation Ambulance, Inc. (Foundation Ambulance) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Type I and Type III Modular Body ambulances equipped with Whelen brake lights. 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."
Risk: If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Foundation Ambulance has notified owners and will replace the Whelen lights, free of charge. The recall began March 21, 2019. Owners may contact Foundation Ambulance customer service at 1-678-826-2219.
