Summary
Life Line Emergency Vehicles (Life Line) is recalling one 2020 Ford F450 vehicle and one 2017 Navistar Durastar vehicle, equipped with 7×9 combination LED Stop-Tail-Turn reverse lights.

ECCO will provide a filter kit that will ensure the lights perform in the correct photometric intensity ranges, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in March 2021. Owners may contact Life Line customer service at 1-563-578-3317 ext. 132.
