2018 Iti Trailers Peterbilt problems, complaints & recalls

Defect: ITI Trailers and Truck Bodies, Inc. is recalling one 3000 Gallon Tanker truck built on a 2018 Peterbilt chassis, 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, the 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, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: ITI Trailers and Truck Bodies has notified the owners and replaced the lights, free of charge. The recall began January 15, 2019. Customers may contact ITI Trailers and Truck Bodies at 1-814-634-008.
