Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Shred-Tech Corporation is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 MDS vehicles that were manufactured between July 1, 2011 and May 29, 2015. These vehicles were built on either Hino 258LP or Freightliner M2 106 chassis and equipped with EPA 2010 Emission Controls. The vehicles have front axle weights that exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating specified on their certification labels, which can cause poor vehicle handling or front axle failure and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
To remedy this issue, Shred-Tech will notify owners of affected vehicles. For vehicles built on Freightliner M2 chassis, dealers will install a revised certification label that increases the Gross Axle Weight Rating to 9,000 pounds. For vehicles built on Hino 258LP chassis, dealers will modify the wheel base to redistribute the weight. Both repairs will be performed free of charge. Owners may contact Shred-Tech customer service at 1-800-465-3214 for more information. The recall began on July 30, 2015.
