Kingston,Jamaica -Radio Jamaica -20 February 2008: -- The Ministry of Water has filed a $374 million claim against European auto manufacturer Daimler Chrysler... The claim follows a long-standing dispute between the Government and the company over several defective water trucks which were purchased by the Rapid Response Unit nearly eight years ago... Out of the one hundred units that were purchased in May 2000, only 31 are still in operation... Minister of Water Dr. Horace Chang says 25 trucks suffered transmission failure with only three repaired to date... The other units were written off following accidents... The Water Minister says several of the trucks were affected by after delivery service issues... These include wide scale transmission failure, leaking tankers, poor paint work resulting in tankers rusting, loosening of tankers from chassis and water pumps failing due to inappropriate construction material...
