What this recall means for you
Certain trucks with IMT crane equipment have a valve bank cover that may crack while the crane is being transported. Over time the cover can come loose and detach from the crane, falling onto the road.
If the valve bank cover separates from the crane while driving, it can become a road hazard for other drivers and increase the risk of a crash.
Owners will be notified by Custom Truck and Equipment. Authorized dealers will replace the valve bank cover with a thicker gauge cover at no cost. Owners can contact Custom Truck customer service at 1-888-712-2962, and should check their vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.
