If the wrecker is being operated with the remote control, it may be possible for the vehicle mounted controls to remain engaged and continue activating the previously selected wrecker function.
What could happen
A sticking control lever may result in unintended movement of the wrecker equipment, increasing the risk of injury.

Jerr-Dan will notify owners, and dealers will repair the vehicles, free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2016. Owners may contact Jerr-Dan customer service at 1-717-597-7111.
