Plain-English summary

VT Hackney, Inc. is recalling certain 2018-2019 Beverage Body vehicles equipped with ASA Electronics back-up camera displays. This recall affects vehicles previously addressed under recall 19E-009. The defect involves the displays potentially reverting to factory default settings, which causes the camera image to appear reversed.

The reversed image may cause the driver to inadvertently turn in the wrong direction when attempting to avoid an object behind the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text.

VT Hackney has notified owners and will provide repair kits free of charge to prevent the image from reversing. The recall began on May 6, 2019. Owners can contact VT Hackney customer service at 1-800-763-0700, extension 2016, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
