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 risk-of-harm product where the defect increases the risk of a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

TAP Worldwide, LLC is recalling certain Poison Spyder Customs-brand Tire Carriers, part number 19-62-030TP1, sold as aftermarket parts. The recall affects 114 units. These tire carriers may not provide a license plate lamp or center high-mounted brake light and may cause the rear visibility camera system to be inoperable. As a result, the vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 108 and 111.

The defect may limit the warning given to other drivers when the vehicle is slowing or stopping. Additionally, an inoperable rear camera may reduce the driver's 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 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.
