What is wrong

In the affected vehicles, the rear engine-run lockout safety switch may have been improperly wired, and as a result, it may be possible to start the engine while the vehicle is being worked on by a mechanic.

What can happen

If the engine can be started while a mechanic is working on the vehicle, they have an increased risk of injury and or death.

ARBOC will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rear engine-run lockout safety switch wiring, correcting it as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected began on November 4, 2016. Owners may contact ARBOC customer service at 1-866-953-5555.
