What happened

Ride The Ducks International LLC is recalling certain 1996-2014 Stretch Amphibious Passenger and Truck Amphibious Passenger vehicles due to a defect in the instrument panel. When the turn signals or high beam headlights are activated, the instrument cluster does not display the correct telltale symbols. Instead, only a solid color appears on the panel. Additionally, the windshield wiper indicator does not illuminate when the headlights are turned on. Because drivers may not realize these systems are activated, this defect increases the risk of a crash and violates federal safety standards.

To remedy this issue, Ride The Ducks International will notify vehicle owners and dealers will replace the instrument panel telltales and controls at no cost. The recall began on April 20, 2017. Affected owners should contact RTDI customer service at 1-417-266-7600 to arrange the repair.
