OFFICIAL NHTSA RECALL

18E117000

Equipment

Reported Dec 18, 2018 · TAP Worldwide, LLC

Summary

TAP Worldwide, LLC (TAP) is recalling certain Poison Spyder Customs-brand Tire Carriers, part number 19-62-030TP1, sold as aftermarket parts. These Tire Carriers may not provide a license plate lamp or center high-mounted brake light and may also cause the rear visibility camera 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."

Consequence

Without a high-mounted brake light, the warning given to others that the vehicle is slowing or stopping may be limited. 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, free of charge. The recall began February 12, 2019. Owners may contact TAP customer service at 1-888-376-1417.

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.
