Recall 1988109

The issue

Certain vehicles are equipped with stainless steel wrapped mufflers mounted vertically behind the cab with grabhandles attached to them for cab access. Persons using the grabhandles for support while entering or exiting the cab would receive severe burns if their hand or arm came in contact with a hot muffler. Correction: Heat shields will be added to the mufflers.

Description (français)

Certains véhicules sont dotés de tuyaux d'échappement verticaux revêtus d'acier inoxydable, situés derrière la cabine et munis de poignées permettant de grimper sur le camion. Si le tuyau d'échappement est chaud, toute personne qui saisit les poignées pour monter dans le camion ou en descendre risque de se brûler gravement la main ou le bras.
