- Defect:
- On certain trucks, the rebound cushion may stick to the hook hinge bracket, due to improper rubber composition of the cushion. this condition could result in the hook pin bracket remaining in the up (cab closed) position when the cab latch is unlocked. with the hook pin bracket in the up position, the cab tilt lock switch remains closed, improperly indicating that the cab latch is locked.
