Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

THE LOCATION OF THE REAR STOP LAMPS COULD BE OBSCURED BY MUDFLAPS OR ICC BUMPERS. DRIVERS APPROACHING FROM THE REAR MAY HAVE A DEPTH PERCEPTION PROBLEM WITH LIGHTS TOO FAR FORWARD. AN APPROACHING DRIVER CAN CRASH INTO ONE OF THESE VEHICLES, POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: COAL DUMP BODIES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JANUARY 1, 1998 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 2000.

THE REAR TAIL AND STOP LAMP LOCATION DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, “LAMPS REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT.”

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
  • Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
