What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

THE SCREWS USED TO MOUNT THE TELEVISION INTO AN OVERHEAD CABINET ARE NOT LONG ENOUGH TO PROPERLY SECURE THE TELEVISION TO THE ENCLOSURE BASE. THIS CAN CAUSE THE TELEVISION TO FALL OUT OF THE CABINET AND ONTO THE HEAD OF THE VEHICLE OPERATOR.

The risk

THE OPERATOR CAN SUSTAIN INJURIES AND POSSIBLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REMOUNT THE TELEVISIONS WITH CORRECT FASTENERS.

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.
