2007 Crane Let2

Component

Engine And Engine Cooling:Engine:Diesel

Consequence of Defect

on certain refuse packer trucks equipped with caterpillar c7 or c9 diesel engines, a fuel pump failure will dilute the engine oil with fuel and cause loss of throttle control and excessive smoke.

Corrective Action

loss of throttle can increase the risk of a crash and fuel leakage. in the presence of an ignition source, fuel leakage could result in a fire.

Recall Notes

crane carrier will work with caterpillar to replace the fuel pump on affected chassis free of charge. owners may contact caterpillar at 1-800-447-4986 or crane carrier at 918-832-7305.

2005 Crane Let2

Component

Vehicle Speed Control

Consequence of Defect

on certain vehicles, a mechanical interference may exist between the throttle pedal and an access plug in the cab sheet metal.

Corrective Action

the throttle pedal may contact the access plug and not return to the idle position causing a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Recall Notes

crane carrier will relocate the throttle pedal at no charge. the recall began september 17, 2005. owners may contact crane carrier at 1-918-832-7305.

2005 Crane Let2

Component

Steering:Linkages

Consequence of 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.

Corrective Action

a failure of the drag link may cause a loss of steering control, which could result in a crash.

Recall Notes

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.

2004 Crane Let2

Component

Wheels

Consequence of Defect

on certain vehicles equipped with galaxy disc truck wheels, size 22.5" x 9", a failure of these wheels can occur.

Corrective Action

if the wheels are not identified and replaced a sudden failure of the wheel may occur without warning possibly resulting in a vehicle crash which could cause serious injury or even death.

Recall Notes

galaxy is handling all owner notification and remedy for this campaign. galaxy will notify its customers and replace the wheels. owners should contact galaxy tire at 1-800-343-3276 or crane at 1-918-836-1651.

2003 Crane Let2

Component

Service Brakes, Air:Slack Adjusters:Automatic

Consequence of Defect

on certain trailers equipped with a specific combination of reyco suspension, eaton drive axle, and bendix slack adjusters, the failure of a drive axle slack adjuster to automatically adjust as required to compensate for brake wear, will cause an out of adjustment condition. if this condition occurs and is not identified and corrected through normal inspections and maintenance, the slack adjuster will over-rotate and may contact the suspension lower spring saddle.

Corrective Action

if this occurs, braking performance will be inhibited, increasing the risk of a crash without warning.

Recall Notes

crane carrier will supply, at no charge, gunite slack adjusters and installation instructions to replace the existing bendix slack adjusters on the drive axle. the installing facility will be reimbursed by crane for one (1) hour labor per vehicle at their posted labor rate. owner notification began on june 10, 2003. owners should contact crane at 1-918-832-7305.

2003 Crane Let2

Component

Engine And Engine Cooling:Engine:Diesel

Consequence of Defect

on certain heavy duty trucks equipped with cummins westport b gas plus or c gas plus 6 cylinder engines, the electronic control module calibration may not correctly detect a throttle plate actuator failure that could result in an uncommanded open throttle condition.

Corrective Action

if this event occurs, the vehicle operator will not have control of the engine speed which could possibly result in a vehicle crash.

Recall Notes

both units have already had the electronic control module calibration replaced.
