You read the headline right. One 2018 F-550 has been recalled over a brake light issue but that lone recall is very important nonetheless.
Weis Fire & Safety recalled the four-wheel-drive crew cab over concerns that the brake lights may incorrectly illuminate, confuse other drivers and possibly increase the risk of a crash. Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, the brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed.
Weis Fire & Safety has already notified the owner and replaced the brake lights free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2018. Contact Weis Fire & Safety customer service at 1-785-825-9526 for more information.
