What is wrong
CERTAIN TRUCK BODIES BUILT ON ISUZU CHASSIS FAIL TO CONFORM TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." THE TURN SIGNAL FLASH RATE IS EXCESSIVE AND DOES NOT PROVIDE AN ACCEPTABLE FLASH RATE.
What can happen
A FOLLOWING OR ONCOMING DRIVER MAY NOT RECOGNIZE THE TURN SIGNAL LAMP AS FLASHING AND THUS NOT REALIZE THE TRUCK DRIVER'S INTENTION TO TURN. THIS COULD LEAD THE OTHER DRIVER TO MAKE AN UNSAFE MOVEMENT AROUND THE TRUCK.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL FURNISH A REPLACEMENT TURN SIGNAL FLASHER THAT WILL BRING THE FLASH RATE INTO THE MANDATED RANGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 11, 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HACKNEY AT 800-763-0700.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
