2013–2015 Capacity ISB13 recall: interior lighting

⚠️ What's wrong

Capacity of Texas (Capacity) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 ISB13 Yard Tractors manufactured from September 1, 2013, through April 22, 2015. The affected vehicles were manufactured without a dimmer switch to control the backlighting illumination on the dashboard. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Controls and Displays."

💥 The risk

If the driver can not adjust the amount of dash illumination, the driver may not be able to easily see the dash controls. This distraction may increase the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Capacity will notify owners, and fleets will install a switch with dimming capability, free of charge. The recall began on May 27, 2015. Owners may contact Capacity customer service at 1-800-323-0135.

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.)
