03- Structure#2016250
65 units affected
On certain brush chipper units, a weld joint on the unit's frame where the tube-tongue intersects the plate-frame front cross member may have been undercut during manufacturing. This could create a high stress factor on the tube-tongue at the start/stop point of the weld, and could result in bending and/or fatigue fractures (cracks) which can lead to the tube failing. This would allow the unit to separate from the towing vehicle, possibly striking another vehicle, a stationary object, or a bystander, causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will cut off the fixed tongue next to the connection to the main frame and another tongue will be inserted into the main frame and bolted into place to remove the high stress condition.
- Lights And Instruments#2015507
1,307 units affected
Certain brush chipper and stump cutter units may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 - Lighting System and Retro reflective Devices. During manufacturing, the side marker LED lights installed did not include a reflex reflector built into the lens and no other reflex reflectors were installed on the sides of the trailers, which fails to meet the requirements of the standard. This could reduce vehicle conspicuity, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install separate reflectors with SAE (A) marking or LED side marker lights with reflex reflectors with an SAE (A) rated lens.
- Accessories#2015362
64 units affected
On certain brush chipper units, the mounting flanges for the discharge chute could crack or fail due to stress and/or fatigue. This could result in the chute separating from the brush chipper while the unit is being towed down a roadway, creating a road hazard for other motorists, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reposition the discharge chute rotation clamp locations and add and additional rotation clamp.
