EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:WINCH

Issued by STAHL · Reported Aug 22, 2001 · 88 vehicles affected

What's wrong

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: HOIST MODEL NUMBER 1200 WITH A 6 INCH CYLINDER, HOIST MODEL NUMBER 1600 WITH A 5 INCH CYLINDER, AND HOIST MODEL NUMBER 1600 WITH A 6 INCH CYLINDER MANUFACTURED BEFORE AUGUST 1999. DUE TO LOW TOLERANCE TO CHANGES IN THE CENTER OF GRAVITY THAT CAN OCCUR IF A WELD SEPARATES BETWEEN THE HOIST'S LOWER SHAFT AND THE HOIST'S LOWER MOUNTING ANGLE, RAISING THE POTENTIAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO TIP-OVER WHEN THE HOIST IS ELEVATED. TIP-OVER IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR WHEN THE HOIST IN BEING OPERATED ON AN INCLINE.

Consequence

IF A TRUCK EQUIPPED WITH A HOIST SHOULD TIP-OVER, INJURY COULD OCCUR TO AN OCCUPANT OF THE TRUCK OR TO A PERSON ADJACENT TO THE TRUCK.

STAHL WILL REPLACE THE HOIST FREE OF CHARGE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN AUGUST 30, 2001. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT STAHL AT 800-392-7251.
