Defect
Midwest Fire Equipment & Repair Company (Midwest) is recalling one 2017 All-Poly Series vehicle. The stop light switch on this vehicle may not illuminate the brake lights when the brakes are applied.

Safety risk
If the brakes lights do not illuminate when the brakes are pressed, other drivers may not know that the vehicle is slowing or stopping thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
