What this means for you

Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a documentation and labeling defect that hinders safety recall awareness, fitting the rubric for minor labeling errors and voluntary precautionary measures.
Plain-English summary
Jim Reed's Truck Sales, Inc. (JRTS) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Hino 338 trucks that were modified by the company. The affected vehicles have certification labels that do not correctly identify JRTS as the final stage manufacturer, which fails to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
The incorrect final stage manufacturer information on the certification label may hinder owner awareness of safety recalls. This lack of awareness increases the risk of a fire or a crash.
JRTS will notify owners and send them a new certification label with the correct final stage manufacturer information free of charge. The recall began on June 13, 2017. Owners may contact Jim Reed's Truck Sales' customer service at 1-914-737-3990 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
