What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THE HORN ACTIVATING SWITCH COMPONENTS LOCATED IN THE STEERING COLUMN CAN WEAR ABNORMALLY.

The risk

THE HORN MAY BE ENERGIZED AND SOUND CONSTANTLY, OR NOTENERGIZE AND FAIL. THIS COULD LEAD TO AN INABILTY TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS INA CRASH SITUATION, AND RESULT IN VEHICLE DAMAGE AND INCREASED RISK OF INJURY.

The remedy

REPLACE THE STEERING WHEEL HUB AND HORN BRUSH. ARRANGE THE PARTS TO AVOID THE PREMATURE WEAR CONDITIONS.

Notes

SYSTEM: COMMUNICATIONS: HORN ASSEMBLY.VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: COMMERCIAL TRUCKS.

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.
