What this recall means for you
Some IMT crane-equipped trucks built between April 2013 and January 2016 have a valve bank cover on the crane that can crack. While the crane is being transported, the cover may come loose and fall from the crane onto the road.
If the cover detaches, it can become a road hazard for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners of affected vehicles will be notified by Auto Truck, and authorized dealers will replace the valve bank cover with a thicker cover at no cost to you.
If you own one of these trucks, contact Auto Truck customer service at 1-855-288-6875, referencing recall numbers TB2016001 and TB2016002. You should also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
