• Structure#201934412 juillet 2019

  23 unités visées

  Problème : Sur certains engins d'incendie construits avec une cabine personnalisée, les fusibles hydrauliques du système de levage de la cabine pourraient ne pas fonctionner correctement. Si le système de levage hydraulique tombe en panne et que la barre de verrouillage mécanique n'est pas enclenchée, la cabine risque de s'abaisser brusquement. Risques pour la sécurité : Une cabine qui s'abaisse soudainement peut créer un risque de blessure. Mesures correctives : La compagnie doit aviser les propriétaires par la poste et leur demander de communiquer avec leur concessionnaire pour planifier le remplacement des fusibles hydrauliques des vérins de levage de la cabine.
