What's wrong

Terminal Investment Corporation (TICO) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Tico Spotter B 6.7 trucks equipped with certain Sheppard Steering Gears. The steering gear may have been assembled incorrectly, which can cause the gear to fracture.

The risk

A fractured steering gear can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will inspect the serial numbers, and replace the steering gears, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 15, 2024. Owners may contact TICO customer service at 1-843-536-8139.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
