The issue
On certain trucks, the grab handles may be susceptible to fatigue failure and may break at the bend radius near the upper mounting bolt hole. Failure during use could result in a fall and personal injury. Correction: Grab handles will be replaced.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, il se peut que les poignées montairs se fissurent par fatigue et se brisent dans le coude près de l'orifice du boulon de montage supérieur. Si la poignée venait à se briser quand quelqu'un s'y agrippe, celui-ci pourrait faire une chute et se blesser. Correction: Les poignées montoirs devront être remplacées.
