What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: TRUCK CHASSIS ON WHICH SPECIAL APPLICATION BODIES, MODELS P-2000, SU, OR VU, HAVE BEEN MOUNTED. THE BODY MOUNTING BRACKETS WERE INSTALLED SO THEY TOUCH HYDRAULIC BRAKE TUBING INSIDE THE FRAME RAILS. VIBRATION FROM ROAD TRAVEL CAN CAUSE THE BRAKE TUBING TO MOVE AND BE ABRADED BY THE BOLTS.

The risk

THIS CAN POTENTIALLY WEAR A HOLE IN THE BRAKE TUBING CAUSING A FLUID LEAK, RESULTING IN REDUCED BRAKE POWER.

The remedy

OWNERS WERE SENT INSPECTION AND REMEDY PROCEDURES. HACKNEY WILL REIMBURSE OWNERS FOR LABOR AND PARTS.

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.
