What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

ON CERTAIN WALK-IN DELIVERY VANS, THE HEADLIGHT MODULES WERE INCORRECTLY WIRED. THIS CAN CAUSE THE HEADLAMP TO OPERATE WITH REDUCED EFFECTIVENESS.

The risk

POOR LIGHTING FROM THE HEADLIGHTS COULD CAUSE REDUCED ROAD VISIBILITY, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

The remedy

OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE VERIFICATION AND REPAIR OF THE WIRING DEFECT. OWNERS WILL BE REIMBURSED FOR THE LABOR COST OF THE REPAIRS. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 22, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT UTILIMASTER AT 1-800-582-3454.

Notes

CUSTOMERS MAY ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), OR GO TO HTTP://WWW.SAFERCAR.GOV.

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.
