What this recall means for you
Certain Dennis Eagle Elite and Proview refuse collection vehicles from model years 2017 through 2020 may have an incorrect Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed in the Incomplete Vehicle Document (IVD). The vehicles therefore do not fully comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 120 and the certification requirements in 49 CFR Part 567.
Because the listed weight rating may be wrong, an operator could load the vehicle beyond its safe limit. Overloading raises the risk of a crash.
Dennis Eagle will notify owners, and authorized dealers will provide corrected documents and labels at no cost. Owner notification letters were mailed June 14, 2021. For questions, contact Dennis Eagle customer service at 1-813-440-8136 and reference recall number FSI1453.
