ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
- The defect
- HME, Inc. (HME) is recalling certain 2013-2021 AF1, 1871, and SFO vehicles. Insufficient voltage and/or cracked wiring insulation may cause the aerial controls system to fail.
- What it can cause
- Exposed wires can create a shock risk to the vehicle operator.
- What the dealer does
- HME will inspect and service all affected vehicles, including installation of new and replacement aerial components, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for recall notification. Owners may contact HME customer service at 1-616-534-1463.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 30 vehicles this is a small campaign: 83% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2013 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 8 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
HME vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system once before this, most recently in February 2020 as 20V104000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 22V095000 (fuel system, diesel), 21V790000 (fuel system, diesel), 21V283000 (equipment), 20V104000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by HME, Inc. with NHTSA on April 22, 2021 as campaign 21V282000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
