Issued by Jerr-Dan Corporation · Reported Jul 5, 2016 · 24 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Jerr-Dan Corporation (Jerr-Dan) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 HDR1000 Wrecker trucks manufactured April 17, 2014 and April 5, 2016, equipped with a JFB body and vehicle mounted controls and remote controls. If the wrecker is being operated with the remote control, it may be possible for the vehicle mounted controls to remain engaged and continue activating the previously selected wrecker function.

Consequence

A sticking control lever may result in unintended movement of the wrecker equipment, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

Jerr-Dan will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles, free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2016. Owners may contact Jerr-Dan customer service at 1-717-597-7111.
