DEFECT #1 - EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Posted on: 2013-03-05
Description
Caterpillar is recalling certain 2012 and 2014 caterpillar ct660 heavy duty trucks manufactured by navistar between october 31, 2011, and january 23, 2013. Certain side marker lamps and/or reflective tape were not applied to these vehicles, which have a length of 30 feet or longer. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.
Consequence
Missing side marker lamps and/or reflective tape reduces the visibility of the truck to others, which increases the risk of a vehicle crash.
Corrective Action
Caterpillar will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on april 262013. Owners may contact caterpillar at 1-800-447-4986.
