ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- The defect
- Reading Truck Body, LLC (Reading) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Master Mechanic Crane Body & Upfit vehicles. The Power Take Off (PTO) Timer Delay Relay module is mounted under the hood instead of in the vehicle cab, subjecting it to moisture which can lead to corrosion and cause the module to overheat.
- What it can cause
- Overheating of the PTO Timer module increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and replace the PTO Timer module, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 13, 2022. Owners may contact Reading's customer service at 1-610-775-3301.
- 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.nhtsa.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 187 vehicles this is a small campaign: 62% 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 2019 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Reading Truck vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system once before this, most recently in January 2020 as 20V044000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 Reading Truck Body, LLC with NHTSA on March 24, 2022 as campaign 22V182000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
