Tire Carrier Affecting Lighting/FMVSS 108, 111

Without a high-mounted brake light, the warning given to others that the vehicle is slowing or stopping may be limited. If the rear camera is inoperable, the driver may have reduced visibility of what is behind the vehicle. Either condition can increase the risk of a crash.

 

Summary

TAP Worldwide, LLC (TAP) is recalling certain Poison Spyder Customs-brand Tire Carriers, part number 19-62-030TP1, sold as aftermarket parts. These Tire Carriers may not provide a license plate lamp or center high-mounted brake light and may also cause the rear visibility camera system to be inoperable. 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,” and number 111, “Rearview Mirrors.”

 

Remedy

TAP will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Poison Spyder Tire CarriereBay, free of charge. The recall began February 12, 2019. Owners may contact TAP customer service at 1-888-376-1417.

 

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.

 


RECALL NO. 18E-117

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL

This notice applies to your Poison Spyder Frame Mounted Tire CarriereBay, part number 19-62-030TP1. This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Date: February 12, 2019

Dear Valued TAP Worldwide, LLC Customer,

 

REASON FOR NOTICE

TAP Worldwide, LLC has decided that the above-referenced Poison Spyder Frame Mounted Tire CarriereBay does not comply with FMVSS 108 because the product does not provide a license plate lamp and could interfere with the center high-mounted stop lamp positioning. An inoperable center high-mounted stop lamp may not properly alert following vehicles that the driven vehicle is coming to a stop, which could increase the risk of a crash.

TAP Worldwide, LLC has also determined that the above-referenced Poison Spyder Frame Mounted Tire CarriereBay does not comply with FMVSS 111 because the product renders the rear visibility system (back-up camera) inoperable. Because the rear visibility system does not operate as intended with the Poison Spyder Frame Mounted Tire CarriereBay installed, there could be an increased risk of death or injury resulting from a back-over incident if the driver of the vehicle does not check his or her surroundings before reversing.

 

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO

You should contact TAP Worldwide, LLC’s Recall Parts Assistance Department by phone at 1888-376-1417 or by email at recallpartsassistance@4wp.com immediately to identify the recommended service facility closest to you that can provide and/or install a replacement Poison Spyder Frame Mounted Tire CarriereBay (or provision which corrects the issues referenced above). Alternatively, you may request that the replacement Poison Spyder Frame Mounted Tire CarriereBay (or provision which corrects the issues referenced above) be sent to your home address, so that you can install it yourself using the attached instructions.

 

WHAT WE WILL DO

TAP Worldwide, LLC has created a replacement Poison Spyder Frame Mounted Tire CarriereBay and a provision that will include the original equipment back-up camera and will not interfere with the license plate lamp or center high-mounted stop lamp, free of charge. The replacement parts will be available starting February 15, 2019.
