Rear Turn signals that illuminate at the same time as the brake lights may create confusion and impair the effectiveness of the brake lights, increasing the risk of a crash.

The rear turn signals can illuminate when the brakes are applied, causing them to light up together with the brake lights. This creates confusion for drivers and may lead to crashes because the brake lights are not functioning properly.
Truck owners with 1990-2020 Peterbilt 320 or 520 models that have specific amber rear turn signals are most at risk. These vehicles may fail to comply with federal brake light safety standards.
