Plain-English summary

TAP Worldwide, LLC is recalling certain Poison Spyder Customs Tire Carrier Delete Plates, part number 19-04-012P1, sold as aftermarket parts. The recall involves 96 units of this equipment.

The recalled plates may not provide a license plate illumination lamp, may interfere with the center high-mounted brake light positioning, and may cause the rear visibility system to be inoperable. These conditions cause the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 108 and 111. If the high-mounted brake light is inoperable, it can limit the warning given to others that the vehicle is slowing or stopping. If the rear camera is inoperable, the driver may have reduced visibility of what is behind the vehicle. Either condition can increase the risk of a crash.

TAP will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Poison Spyder Tire Carrier Delete Plates free of charge. The recall began on February 12, 2019. Owners may contact TAP customer service at 1-888-376-1417 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
