Recall campaignsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

Open investigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

350 units potentially affected
The defect: ON THE INVOLVED VEHICLES, ONE OF THE TWO BOLTS AND NUTS THAT SECURE THE FRONT MOUNTING ANGLE OF THE HYDRAULIC DUMP APPARATUS MAY INTERFERE WITH THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINE TO THE REAR WHEELS. ABRASION OF THE BRAKE LINE DUE TO NORMAL OVER-THE-ROAD VIBRATION, AND BRAKE LINE FAILURE COULD OCCUR WHICH WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF SERVICE BRAKES.
The remedy: THE DEALER WILL REPLACE BRAKE TUBING AND WILL FASTEN FRAME CLIPS TO THE BRAKE LINE TO THE FRAME TO ASSURE PROPER CLEARANCE, IF FOUND NECESSARY.

What a recall is

Safety recall
A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
Safety investigation
NHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
Manufacturer communication
Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
