IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 22E‐007
February 15, 2022
This notice is sent in accordance with the National
Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Weldon, a division of
Akron Brass has determined that rear combination lamps
that were manufactured between June 6 – 25, 2018 and
shipped to Navistar do not meet the requirements of
FMVSS 108 because the lamps do not fall within the color
boundaries for white light. Vehicle lighting that does not
meet the required color boundaries may increase the risk
of a crash.
Weldon will provide you with replacement rear
combination lamps that meet the FMVSS color
requirements free of charge. In carrying out your
inspections of lamps installed on vehicles, please refer
to the table to determine if the lamp was manufactured
on one of the dates shown. This can be found by
reading the label on the back of each RCL lamp. Only
lamps manufactured within this date range are affected.
If you believe there is a failure to remedy this defect
without charge to the end user/owner of the vehicle and
within a reasonable period of time, you may submit a
written complaint to the Administrator, NHTSA, 1200
New Jersey Ave, SE, Washington, DC 20590, or call the
Vehicle Safety Hotline 1‐888‐327‐4336 (TTY: 1‐800‐424‐
9153) or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
Please note that it is a violation of Federal Law to deliver
a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor
vehicle equipment covered by this notification under a
sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied.
Thanks for your prompt attention to this matter and continued support.

Number of potentially involved : 6,315
Estimated percentage with defect : 90 %
Equipment Information :
Brand / Trade 1 : Weldon
Model : Rear Combination Lamp 40958
Part No. : 4095877C92 & 5878C92
Size : N / A
Function : Back Up Lamp
Descriptive Information : Testing shows the different lamp color. The recall population was traced to
specific production lots where a different LED color bin was used. The LED itself
has a different part number to identify it.
Production Dates : JUN 06, 2018 – JUN 25, 2018
Description of Noncompliance :
Description of the
Noncompliance :
The white LEDs used for the backup lamp function fall outside the paramters
for the color white on the CIE color chart when tested to the requirements of
S14.4.1.
FMVSS 1 : 108 – Lamps, reflective devices, and assoc. Equipment
FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : When the vehicle is in reverse the lamp will illuminate however the white
light is outside the FMVSS 108 boundry of white on the CIE color chart. This
different color could affect visibility and potentially increase the risk of a
crash.
Description of the Cause : Incorrect color bin was used for certain production lots.

Chronology :
In late September 2018, one of Weldon’s customers requested that Weldon test the color of two lighting
samples. Weldon made arrangements to have samples of the product evaluated by a third-party facility. From
late September to October 2018, Weldon received test results from a third party lab which indicated the tested
samples, which came from a particular batch of lamps, fell outside the color boundaries for white light. Weldon
began to examine and consider those results and Weldon submitted a noncompliance report on November 7,
2018, and submitted a petition for inconsequential noncompliance on November 30, 2018, on the basis that the
slight color deviation did not create an enhanced risk to motor vehicle safety. In February 2022, NHTSA
advised Weldon that it had denied the petition for inconsequential non-compliance. Weldon initiated this
noncompliance recall as a result of NHTSA’s determination.
Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Weldon will provide replacement lamps for affected vehicles to the OEM
vehicle manufacturer free of charge. The OEM manufacturer will conduct
the recall remedy campaign and all quarterly reporting for vehicles
addressed in the field.
How Remedy Component Differs
from Recalled Component :
The date of manufacture on the back of the lamp is readily identifiable and
only those lamps that fall within the date range of the affected production
batch are subject to this recall. Specific manufature lot dates subject to
recall are uploaded as a misc document with the date and part number
noted.
Identify How/When Recall Condition
was Corrected in Production :
Production prior to 06/06/2018 and after 06/25/2018 used the correct
LED.
