Engineering Bulletin: Service Body Lighting Upgrade

To all STAHL Distributors

Models Affected: All STAHL Service Bodies

As STAHL Engineering continues to find ways to make the installation of our service bodies easier and faster for our customers, we are excited to share that an update to STAHL’s service body lighting will be releases on June 1, 2023. The changes will include:

1. Updated license plate lighting. We are updating our license plate lighting from (1) incandescent light to (2) LED lights. The snap-in light design will improve visibility and cut installation time.
2. Provisions to mount stop/tail/turn lights in either the body or the bumper. We will start pre-punching both the body and the bumper to allow the installation of the stop/tail/turn light assemblies in either location. This will save installers the time currently required to cut out and touch up holes when body mounted lights are desired.
3. The ability to cover up unused lighting holes. STAHL will now provide a molded reflective carrier to be installed into whichever pre-punched hole (body or bumper) that is not utilized by the stop/tail/turn light assembly. These two reflector placements are confirmed to meet federal requirements and are recommended by STAHL. Please see the pictures and notes below.

These changes will be included on every service body shipped after June 1, 2023. While every effort will be made to prevent it, there could be a short period of time during this transition where bodies are mixed.
