What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Terminal Investment Corporation (TICO) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Tico Spotter B 6.7 trucks equipped with certain Sheppard Steering Gears. The steering gear may have been assembled incorrectly, which can cause the gear to fracture.

The risk

A fractured steering gear can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will inspect the serial numbers, and replace the steering gears, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 15, 2024. Owners may contact TICO customer service at 1-843-536-8139.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.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.
