The problem
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: FIRE TRUCKS. A DEFECTIVE ELECTRICAL HARNESS, PART NO. 200185, WAS USED ON THESE FIRE TRUCKS, CAUSING AN INOPERATIVE 'CHECK TRANSMISSION LIGHT.' THERE WOULD BE NO IN-CAB INDICATION OF A TRANSMISSION FAULT WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN INOPERATIVE VEHICLE IF NOT SERVICED ACCORDING TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE CODES.
Risk
THE TRANSMISSION COULD LOCK IN A RANGE AND UPSHIFT/DOWNSHIFT WOULD BE RESTRICTED, INCREASING THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
What owners should do
DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE WIRING IN THESE HARNESSES.
