2003–2004 Hackney 3-PL-6.2 & 2003–2004 Hackney 4-PL-4.5 + 2 more recall: lights
⚠️ What's wrong
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.
💥 The 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.
🔧 The fix
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.
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.)
