A number of 483 vehicles have to go back to the American Special Vehicles (ASV) – the company responsible for converting US pick-up for right-hand drive, due to a defective part that may increase risk of fire.

The recall notice, lodged with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), says the defect relates to the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler – a component of the vehicle’s emissions control system – fitted to diesel engine equipped models that may crack, resulting in a coolant leak into the intake manifold.

ASV says if coolant does leak into the intake manifold, this may increase the risk of a vehicle fire resulting in an accident, injury to vehicle occupants and other road users, and proper damage. Affected vehicles were sold between 1 January 2014 and 31 December 2019.
