What was wrong

Defect

Hiniker Company (Hiniker) is recalling certain Series 700, 2000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, and 9500 snowplows, part number, HTBX 38828015. The motherboard may overheat, causing the snowplow controls and/or lighting to fail. As such, these snowplows fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

Risk

Lights that fail to illuminate can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Hiniker will replace the motherboard, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 22, 2024. Owners may contact Hiniker customer service at 1-507-625-6621 or 1-800-433-5620.
