- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 21V114000
- Manufacturer: Life Line Emergency Vehicles

## What is wrong

Life Line Emergency Vehicles \(Life Line\) is recalling one 2020 Ford F450 vehicle and one 2017 Navistar Durastar vehicle, equipped with 7x9 combination LED Stop\-Tail\-Turn reverse lights.  The lights may be too bright, exceeding the maximum light output allowed which may adversely affect the vision of drivers.  As such, these lamps fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."


## What can happen

The excessive brightness may affect the vision of other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

ECCO will provide a filter kit that will ensure the lights perform in the correct photometric intensity ranges, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed on March 15, 2021.  Owners may contact Life Line customer service at 1\-563\-578\-3317 ext. 132.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
