Component:
Electrical system:wiring:front underhood
Manufactured:
02/11/1998 - 08/27/1998
Affected:

Defect:
Vehicle description: fire trucks. a defective electrical harness, part no. 200185, was used on these fire trucks, causing an inoperative 'check transmission light.' there would be no in-cab indication of a transmission fault which could lead to an inoperative vehicle if not serviced according to the transmission failure codes.

Correction:
Dealers will repair the wiring in these harnesses.
