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.
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.
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.
