What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where a component failure can lead to a loss of steering assist, which the source states increases the risk of a crash.

Plain-English summary

Reyco Granning is recalling certain Fire Truck Independent Front Suspensions. The defect involves front shocks that may separate from their upper mount on the front suspension.

If a shock separates, it may contact and damage the steering gear housing. This damage can cause a steering fluid leak and a loss of power steering assist. A loss of hydraulic steering assist can increase the risk of a crash.

Reyco will notify manufacturers, and dealers will install a new shock mount bolt and nut, hardened washer, and shims to keep the shocks secured, free of charge. The recall began July 18, 2019. Owners may contact Reyco customer service at 1-765-543-5815 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
