What NHTSA recorded
Vehicle description: fire trucks. These vehicles did not have the "do not shift" display warning lamp installed in the light housing assembly.
Possible consequence
Without this lamp, there can be no positive lamp check upon selection of the master and ignition switch "on" and therefore no in-cab indication of a potential transmission fault.
Remedy
Dealers will install a lamp in the lower left segment of the electrical panel.
