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 risk-of-harm product (vehicle lighting) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for potential crash risk without confirmed casualties.

Plain-English summary

Rosenbauer America is recalling certain 2015-2021 Rosenbauer fire trucks, including the Commander, Commercial 7400, Commercial M2-106, and Commercial HV613 models. The recall affects vehicles where the rear lights may be excessively bright. This condition causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, which governs lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.

The excessive brightness of the rear lights may reduce the vision of other drivers, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text, but the hazard is identified as a potential cause of accidents due to impaired visibility for other motorists.

Dealers will provide a filter kit to be installed in the rear lights at no charge to the owner. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 14, 2021. Owners may contact Rosenbauer customer service at 1-651-462-1000 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 for more information.
