Tire Carrier Delete Plate/FMVSS 108, 111
Description
TAP Worldwide, LLC (TAP) is recalling certain Poison Spyder Customs Tire Carrier Delete Plates, part number 19-04-012P1, sold as aftermarket parts. These Tire Carrier Delete Plates may not provide a license plate illumination lamp, may interfere with the center high-mounted brake light positioning, and may also cause the rear visibility system to be inoperable. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment," and number 111, "Rearview Mirrors."
Injuries / Consequence
If the high-mounted brake light is inoperable, it can limit the warning given to others that the vehicle is slowing or stopping. If the rear camera is inoperable, the driver may have reduced visibility of what is behind the vehicle. Either condition can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy
TAP will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Poison Spyder Tire Carrier Delete Plates, free of charge. The recall began February 12, 2019. Owners may contact TAP customer service at 1-888-376-1417.
