Weiler Trucks Recalled for Missing Reflectors on LED Marker Lights

Weiler is recalling 368 trucks from 2002-2016 because LED marker lights lack required reflectors, reducing visibility and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (missing reflectors) that increases the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Weiler, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2002-2016 B2, B3, B5, F1, F3, F5, M100, M200, and WT4000 trucks manufactured between April 8, 2003, and March 21, 2016. The recall affects 368 vehicles that may have been produced with LED marker lights that do not have reflectors built into the lenses. This defect causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The missing reflectors reduce the visibility of the truck, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, but the hazard is identified as a safety compliance issue that affects vehicle visibility.

Weiler will notify owners and 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 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
