Filed Dec 7, 200482 vehiclesHackney

Defect. CERTAIN TRUCK BODIES BUILT ON ISUZU CHASSIS FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." THE TURN SIGNAL FLASH RATE IS EXCESSIVE AND DOES NOT PROVIDE AN ACCEPTABLE FLASH RATE.

Risk. A FOLLOWING OR ONCOMING DRIVER MAY NOT RECOGNIZE THE TURN SIGNAL LAMP AS FLASHING AND THUS NOT REALIZE THE TRUCK DRIVER'S INTENTION TO TURN. THIS COULD LEAD THE OTHER DRIVER TO MAKE AN UNSAFE MOVEMENT AROUND THE TRUCK.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL FURNISH A REPLACEMENT TURN SIGNAL FLASHER THAT WILL BRING THE FLASH RATE INTO THE MANDATED RANGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 11, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HACKNEY AT 800-763-0700.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
