OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL
17V165000
Electrical System: Instrument Cluster/panel
Reported Mar 13, 2017 · Ride The Ducks International LLC
Summary
Ride The Ducks International LLC (RTDI) is recalling certain 1996-2014 Stretch Amphibious Passenger and Truck Amphibious Passenger vehicles. The instrument cluster does not illuminate the associated symbol when the vehicles' turn signals or high beam lights are in use, instead only a solid color is lit. Additionally, the indicator for the windshield wiping system is not illuminated when the vehicle's headlights are activated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Control and Displays."
Consequence
If the instrument panel does not illuminate correct telltale displays for the turn signals or high beam headlights, the vehicle operator may not recognize that the systems are been activated, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
RTDI will notify owners, and dealers will replace the instrument panel telltales and controls, free of charge. The recall began on April 20, 2017. Owners may contact RTDI customer service at 1-417-266-7600.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
