Reading Truck Equipment is recalling 48 of its 2021-2024 dump body trucks because of a design defect where the vehicle's hood can touch the main electrical fuse terminal. This contact occurs because there is not enough clearance between these components, creating a dangerous electrical situation. Owners should take their vehicle to an authorized dealer who will inspect the system and relocate the fuse and its terminal to a safer position at no cost.
If the metal hood makes contact with the main electrical fuse terminal, it can cause electrical arcing. This discharge of electricity generates intense heat and sparks, significantly increasing the risk of a vehicle fire.
Inspection and relocation of the fuse terminal and fuse.
