2017–2018 Dennis Eagle Elite recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Dennis Eagle Inc. (Dennis Eagle) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Dennis Eagle Elite refuse trucks equipped with reverse alarm mute switches. Using the reverse alarm mute switch will prevent the truck from beeping when the vehicle is in reverse.
💥 The risk
If the reverse alarm is muted, pedestrians may not realize the vehicle is reversing, increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Dennis Eagle will notify owners, and dealers will remove the reverse alarm mute switch and install a blanking plate, free of charge. The recall began January 21, 2019. Owners may contact Dennis Eagle customer service at 1-813-440-8136. Dennis Eagle's number for this recall is FSI 1240.
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.)
