CERTAIN DOUBLE TRAILERS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 121, "AIR BRAKE SYSTEMS." CONTINUOUS POWER IS NOT PROVIDED TO THE REAR ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ON THE TOWING VEHICLE AS REQUIRED BY THE STANDARD.
THIS COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL DURING BRAKING AND A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.
OWNERS WILL BE FURNISHED WITH AN ADD-ON WIRING HARNESS TO PROVIDE THIS CONTINUOUS POWER AND WILL BE REIMBURSED A FIX AMOUNT FOR INSTALLATION LABOR. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HACKNEY AT 1-252-946-6521.
