What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

TOR Truck Company (TOR) is recalling certain model year 2008 DR8490 drilling rog carrier vehicles, manufactured January 1, 2008, to June 1, 2008.

TOR will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the accelerator if stamped with a suspect serial number, free of charge. The recall began January 28, 2015. Owners may contact TOR customer service at 1-514-912-0053.

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.
