What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk of fire due to overloaded electrical circuits, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural/electrical defects posing a severe hazard.

Plain-English summary

SVI Trucks is recalling certain Command Light Towers and Traffic Flowboards that contain Weldon 8X16 Input-Output nodes. The recall is due to a defect in the electrical system wiring.

In the event of a short circuit or wiring failure, the firmware in the node may fail to shut off the output pin. This malfunction can result in overloaded electrical circuits, which can overheat and increase the risk of fire.

Owner notification letters were mailed on January 16, 2024. SVI Trucks will work with Weldon to update the firmware free of charge. Owners may contact SVI Trucks customer service at 1-888-784-1112 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
