What’s the Problem?
The recalled ride-on trucks have a circuit board that can overheat and ignite. That creates an obvious fire hazard in a children’s product that may be used in garages, driveways, yards, or near homes and other property.
This type of defect can be especially dangerous because a ride-on toy may be charging when the failure occurs. A fire involving a battery-powered child’s vehicle can expose children and adults to burn risk and can also damage nearby structures, vehicles, flooring, or other belongings.
Latest Updates
- March 26, 2026 – FUNTOK 24V 2-Seater Ride-On Trucks, model DLS-K03, were recalled because the circuit board can overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards. The recall covered about 1,980 units sold online at Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and TikTok.com from October 2025 through December 2025 for about $240, and the importer reported 11 incidents involving trucks catching fire, sparking, burning, melting, overheating, or smoking, with no injuries reported.

Product Identification
This recall involves FUNTOK 24V 2-Seater Ride-On Trucks, model number DLS-K03. The trucks were sold in red, black, white, and pink.
Consumers can identify the product by several markings. “4×4” appears in black on the tailgate, and “TURBO DIESEL” appears in black on the side of the truck. The brand name “FUNTOK” and model number “DLS-K03” appear on the user manual cover and the exterior retail packaging.
Incidents and Hazards
The recall is tied to 11 reported incidents involving the trucks catching fire, sparking, burning, melting, overheating, or smoking. No injuries had been reported when the recall was announced, but a repeated fire history in a children’s battery-powered product is still a serious safety concern.
Even without a reported burn injury, a product that ignites during use or charging can create significant danger. Families may face property loss, smoke exposure, emergency response costs, and a substantial risk of injury if the fire spreads or occurs indoors.
What Consumers Should Do Now
Consumers should stop using the recalled ride-on trucks immediately. If the truck is charging, it should be unplugged right away.
To receive a full refund, consumers must contact Shenzhen Luobei Trading Co. and disable the truck by cutting the wires to the battery and submitting a photo of the cut wires with “VOID,” the consumer’s name, and the date written on the hood in permanent marker. After the refund is received, the disabled truck should be disposed of. The lead-acid battery should not be placed in the trash or curbside recycling and should instead be handled through an appropriate battery or household hazardous waste disposal program.
