2019–2021 Reading Truck Master Mechanic Crane: Electrical System recall
NHTSA campaign 22V182000 · 187 units potentially affected · filed Mar 24, 2022
What's wrong
Reading Truck Body, LLC (Reading) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Master Mechanic Crane Body & Upfit vehicles. The Power Take Off (PTO) Timer Delay Relay module is mounted under the hood instead of in the vehicle cab, subjecting it to moisture which can lead to corrosion and cause the module to overheat.
Why it matters
Overheating of the PTO Timer module increases the risk of a fire.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the PTO Timer module, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 13, 2022. Owners may contact Reading's customer service at 1-610-775-3301.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
