04- Structure#2020460
1 units affected
Issue: On certain trailer-mounted boom lifts, the bolts used to connect the tongue to the chassis of the trailer may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the bolts could loosen and the tongue structure may separate from the main chassis. Safety Risk: The separation of the trailer tongue may increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and provide you with directions to tighten the trailer tongue bolts to 122 N m (90 lb-ft).

Issue: This recall applies to certain trailer-mounted, aerial work platforms. On some units, the quick-disconnect battery cables may not have been properly assembled. This could cause the cables to overheat during use. Note: The company has determined that that highway safety is not affected. This problem can only happen at a work area. Safety Risk: If the quick-disconnect battery cables overheat, there could be a risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and provide them with directions for how to replace the quick-disconnect battery cables on their trailer.
