Why is a recall being conducted?
For the Whelen brake light models subject to this recall, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed. They can then be returned to normal operation when a brake input is applied and then removed. Whelen determined that the root cause of this condition was tied to transient voltage on the input line creating a false and steady activation of the brake light. The condition is dependent on the specific wiring of the vehicle and other installed equipment. The product functions normally if it is not exposed to these specific conditions, but the condition can occur in all products subject to this recall. If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.
What are we doing about the problem?
Whelen will provide a replacement brake light and support services free of charge to any customer who possesses a recalled brake light model, whether installed or not, and contacts Whelen at l860-718-2331. Whelen will also fully reimburse you for any reasonable labor charges for the time needed to replace the recalled brake lights on your vehicles. Whelen will also fully reimburse customers for shipping costs associated with the return of recalled brake lights to Whelen.

If the brake light is NOT functioning properly, DO NOT USE THE VEHICLE until you have installed the replacement Whelen brake light that will be provided to you free of charge.
