Ford depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed.
The short version
Excellance, Inc reported a problem with the exterior lighting brake lights. Here is what owners need to know.
Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.
Excellance has notified owners, instructing them to contact Whelen to have the brake lights replaced, free of charge.
