Summary of the Safety Concern:
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FIRE TRUCKS. A DEFECTIVE ELECTRICAL HARNESS, PART NO. 200185, WAS USED ON THESE FIRE TRUCKS, CAUSING AN INOPERATIVE 'CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT.'

|
Consequence:
THE TRANSMISSION COULD LOCK IN A RANGE AND UPSHIFT/DOWNSHIFT WOULD BE RESTRICTED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. |
||
|
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE WIRING IN THESE HARNESSES. |
