2017–2018 Dennis Eagle Elite recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Dennis Eagle Inc. (Dennis Eagle) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Dennis Eagle Elite garbage trucks. The ignition barrels on these vehicles may have been improperly secured, allowing the housing to rotate freely and ignition wiring to become detached, possibly resulting in a stall.
💥 The risk
A vehicle stall can increase the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dennis Eagle will notify owners, and dealers will install a metal anti-rotation ring to keep the ignition barrel secured, free of charge. The recall began October 2, 2018. Owners may contact Dennis Eagle customer service at 1-813-440-8136.
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.)
