The hazard
On certain vehicles, the rebound cushion of the cab tilt lock system may stick to the hook hinge bracket. As a result, the hook pin bracket could remain in the up (cab closed) position when the cab latch is unlocked. With the hook pin bracket in the up position, the cab tilt lock switch remains closed, improperly indicating that the cab latch is locked. In the worst case, if the cab latch is unlocked for any reason, the instrument panel cab lock indicator will not notify the driver that the cab tilt lock mechanism is in the unlocked position. Correction: Dealers will replace the rebound cushion and adjust the tilt lock switch and bottom bracket.
