Campaign:

02V255000 on 09/25/2002

Component:

Equipment:other:labels

Affected:

382

Defect:

Certain flatbed, dump, truck dolly, unloader, frameless, and pup trailers fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 121, "air brake systems." these vehicles have inaccurate weight-related information on the certification labels.

Consequence:

If that inaccurate information is relied upon by the owner of the vehicle, then extra weight loaded onto a vehicle could affect the air brake system performance.

Correction:

Dealers will correct the certification label. owner notification is expected to begin during september or october 2002. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact east manufacturing at 1-330-325-9921.

Notes:

Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
