HOT WHEELS CHEVROLET C3500 CUSTOMISED NO3 1/64

This is a casting which I haven't seen too often over the years hence the small numbers in my collection. Its title suggests it looks heavily customised but thankfully the level it has been altered from factory spec is extremely tame compared to other Hot Wheels models. A recent charity shop gift so unfortunately I have no idea when this recolour actually dates from.

DEFECT #1 - EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS


Posted on: 2019-03-26
Description
Excellance, inc.  (excellance) is recalling certain 2018 ambulances and emergency vehicles built on ford e-350, e-450, f-650, f-550 4x4, chevrolet g4500, g4500 diesel, c3500, g3500, freightliner m2, international 4300, and dodge 4500 chassis and equipped with whelen brake lights.  Depending on the specific wiring of the vehicle, these brake lights may illuminate when the brake pedal has not been pressed.  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.

Consequence
If the brake lights incorrectly illuminate, it can confuse other drivers, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Excellance has notified owners, instructing them to contact whelen to have the brake lights replaced, free of charge.  The recall began on march 21, 2019.  Owners may contact whelen customer service at 1-860-718-2331 or execellance at 1-256-772-9321.  

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.
