What is wrong
Hiniker Company (Hiniker) is recalling certain Series 700, 2000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, and 9500 snowplows, part number, HTBX 38828015. The motherboard may overheat, causing the snowplow controls and/or lighting to fail. As such, these snowplows fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
What can happen
Lights that fail to illuminate can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Hiniker will replace the motherboard, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 22, 2024. Owners may contact Hiniker customer service at 1-507-625-6621 or 1-800-433-5620.

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.
