Commentary
Engine cooling problems can be a relatively significant problem. Many times after release through their own testing or consumer complaints a manufacturer will become aware of an issue with their product and issue a recall. If the manufacturer neglects to repair the defect they could face great liability in multiple personal injury claims. This recall is mostly geared towards business trucks but readers should still be aware of the defect.
