Recall Description
W.S. Darley & Co. (Darley) is recalling certain 2017-2019 WASP fire trucks built on a Ford F-550 or Spartan Metro Star chassis equipped with Whelen brake lights.

Possible Effects
If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
