What is wrong
CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT." A REVERSE BACKUP SWITCH MAY HAVE BEEN CONTAMINATED DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH MAY NOT ALLOW THE CRUISE CONTROL TO ENGAGE.
What can happen
THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE STANDARD. ALSO, THIS COULD CAUSE THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT TO BE ACTIVATED. THE REVERSE BACKUP LIGHT AND BUZZER STAYS ON.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SWITCHES. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON APRIL 19, 2004. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT HINO AT 1-845-365-1400.

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.
