Summary of the Safety Concern:
CERTAIN HEAVY DUTY TRUCKS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT. THE VIEW OF ONE OF THE FOUR BACK OF CAB REFLECTORS IS BLOCKED BY THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. |
||
|
Consequence:
WITH THE RIGHT REFLECTOR NOT BEING VISIBLE, THE WIDTH OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT READILY APPARENT, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. |
||
|
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL INSTALL TWO ADDITIONAL REFLECTORS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JUNE 4, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT MACK AT 1-610-709- |
