2000 Hackney GM W-4 & 2000 Hackney Isuzu NPR recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: truck chassis on which special application bodies, models P-2000, su, or vu, have been mounted. The body mounting brackets were installed so they touch hydraulic brake tubing inside the frame rails. Vibration from road travel CAN cause the brake tubing to move and be abraded by the bolts.
💥 The risk
This CAN potentially wear a hole in the brake tubing causing a fluid leak, resulting in reduced brake power.
🔧 The fix
Owners were sent inspection and remedy procedures. Hackney will reimburse owners for labor and parts.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
