Is my product affected?

TRIMARK LEFT HAND DOOR LATCH

  • Brand TRIMARK

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

TriMark Corporation is recalling certain cab door mount brackets (part numbers 28141-01 and 28142-01) that were sold and installed as original equipment on certain E-One emergency vehicles. If the mounting fasteners are not properly torqued, the outside door handle mount bracket may rotate out of position, causing the door to fail to stay closed and potentially open without warning during a crash. This could allow persons or objects to fall from the vehicle, resulting in injury.

TriMark will notify vehicle owners using E-One letterhead, and repairs will be performed free of charge at E-One service centers or by TriMark personnel as needed. The recall began on July 22, 2011. Owners may contact TriMark at 1-641-394-1095 for more information about the recall.
