2010–2015 Shred-Tech Mds-20gt Recall

Issued June 19, 2015
Issue
Hazard description
On certain mobile document shredder vehicles, installation of the shredding equipment combined with the increased weight of additional emissions components may have caused the vehicle weight to exceed the front gross axle weight rating (GAWR). This would result in vehicle being overloaded, potentially affecting vehicle handling characteristics, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: For vehicles built on the Freightliner M2 106 chassis, dealers will provide a new compliance label to reflect an increased GAWR (to 9000 lbs from 8000 lbs), and upgrade the front axle as necessary. For vehicles built on the Hino 258LP chassis, dealers will provide a new compliance label to reflect an increased GAWR (to 8500 lbs from 8000 lbs).
