STRUCTURE
- The defect
- Shred-Tech Corporation (Shred-Tech) is recalling certain 2021-2023 MDS-4-33 shredding trucks. Shredded paper may accumulate in the space between the cutting knives and the bulkhead wall.
- What it can cause
- The accumulation of excess shredded paper can compress and overheat, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Shred-Tech will install a new bulkhead wall, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed out beginning May 1, 2023. Owners may contact Shred-Tech customer service at 1-800-465-3214.
- 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 14 vehicles this is a small campaign: 89% 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 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
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 Shred-Tech Corporation with NHTSA on April 21, 2023 as campaign 23V287000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
