Reported risk: Certain trucks may have been built with bare mufflers mounted at the back of the cab behind air shields. There is no heat shield to protect someone from contacting the hot muffler if they are standing on a deck plate behind the cab. Also, some of these vehicles were equipped with deck plates with no grab handle for access. Correction: Muffler shields and where necessary, grab handles will be installed on affected vehicles.
