Freightliner brake lights of the affected vehicles will not illuminate if the primary brake air supply is depleted below 6 psi.
The short version
Fontaine Modification reported a problem with the brake lights switch. Here is what owners need to know.
Brake lights of the affected vehicles will not illuminate if the primary brake air supply is depleted below 6 psi. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
If the primary brake air system fails causing the truck to rely on the secondary brake air system, the brakes lights may not illuminate when the brakes are applied, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fontaine will notify owners, and dealers will install a repair kit to resolve the issue, free of charge.
