What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: YARD TRACTORS EQUIPPED WITH ABS BRAKING SYSTEMS. THE WIRES FOR THE "HOLD" AND "EXHAUST" FUNCTIONS IN THE AIR BRAKE MODULATOR VALVE ARE REVERSED IN THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR.

The risk

IN AN ANTILOCK BRAKING CONDITION, THIS COULD CAUSE THE BRAKES TO MALFUNCTION.

The remedy

OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH THE REQUIRED PARTS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO CORRECT THE WIRING HARNESS ALONG WITH THE CUSTOMER NOTICE.

Notes

OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN JULY 1, 1999. OWNERS WHO DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REQUIRED PARTS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT OTTAWA AT 1-785-242-2200. ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

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.
