Defect

On police vehicles, the structure of the clamping section on the emergency light upper and lower covers is inadequate. Vibration during driving and heat from solar radiation may cause cracks to develop at the clamping section. Continued use allows the clamping section to break, and the upper cover may detach from the unit.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, replace the emergency light with the corrected part.
