NHTSA recall campaign
16V504000
What was wrong
Defect

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