2005 Crane WS

Defect. CERTAIN TRUCK CHASSIS CABS FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 205, 'GLAZING MATERIALS.' THE WINDSHIELD INSTALLED WAS SOLID TEMPERED GLASS INSTEAD OF THE INTENDED LAMINATED GLASS.

Risk. A FAILURE OF THE TEMPERED GLASS WOULD ALLOW SMALL PIECES OF GLASS TO ENTER THE DRIVER'S COMPARTMENT CAUSING POSSIBLE INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.

Remedy. CRANE CARRIER WILL INSPECT THE WINDSHIELD GLASS TO DETERMINE IF IT REQUIRES REPLACEMENT. CRANE WILL THEN LOCATE OR ASSIST IN LOCATING AN AUTOMOTIVE GLASS SPECIALTY SHOP IN THE CUSTOMER'S AREA AND WILL AUTHORIZE THE REPAIR. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 3, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CRANE CARRIER AT 1-918-832-7305.

Defect. ON CERTAIN CAB AND CHASSIS READY-MIX, HAY HAULER, REFUSE AND WELL SERVICE VEHICLES, THERE MAY BE MATERIAL FLAWS IN THE DRAG LINK ASSEMBLIES.

Risk. A FAILURE OF THE DRAG LINK MAY CAUSE A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

Remedy. CRANE CARRIER WILL SUPPLY AND INSTALL, AT NO CHARGE, A REPLACEMENT DRAG LINK. THE RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CRANE CARRIER AT 1-918-836-7305.

Defect. ON CERTAIN DRILL RIGS AND WELL SERVICE RIGS EQUIPPED WITH BENDIX ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS), THE AIR BRAKE VALVING INSTALLED ON THE DRIVE AXLES OF CERTAIN TRI-DRIVE AXLE IS INADEQUATE AND IT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT AIR VALVE CONFIGURATION FOR THE RAPID RELEASE AND REAPPLICATION OF AIR NECESSARY FOR THE ABS TO FUNCTION.

Risk. REDUCED BRAKING PERFORMANCE COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.
