Summary

Palfinger, Inc. is recalling 2,149 of its 2017-2025 FHS 55 and GLS 55 vehicles because the outer rear marker lights were installed in the wrong position. This defect means the vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108 for lamps and reflective equipment. Palfinger dealers will fix the issue for free by installing a steel plate and relocating the lights to the correct position.

Risk

Incorrectly positioned rear marker lights can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, especially at night or in low-light conditions, which increases the risk of a crash.
