Summary of the Safety Concern:
CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." A REVERSE BACKUP SWITCH MAY HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH MAY NOT ALLOW THE CRUISE CONTROL TO ENGAGE. |
||
|
Consequence:
THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STANDARD. ALSO, THIS COULD CAUSE THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT TO BE ACTIVATED. THE REVERSE BACKUP LIGHT AND BUZZER STAYS ON. |
||
|
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SWITCHES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON APRIL 19, 2004. 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 HINO AT 1-845-365-1400. |
