EQUIPMENT

Issued by CARGOTEC, INC. · Reported May 7, 2003 · 45 vehicles affected

What's wrong

MOFFETT MOUNTY TRUCK MOUNTED FORKLIFTS. THESE FORKLIFTS WERE INSTALLED WITHOUT A REQUIRED PRESSURE PROTECTION VALVE. WITHOUT THE PRESSURE PROTECTIVE VALVE, LEAKAGE IN THE PNEUMATIC SYSTEM THAT SUPPLIES THE MOUNT KIT COULD LEAD TO UNCONTROLLED ESCAPE OF THE AIR PRESSURE FROM THE TRAILER'S PNEUMATIC SYSTEM.

Consequence

LOW PRESSURE IN THE TRAILER'S PNEUMATIC SYSTEM COULD CAUSE A MALFUNCTION IN THE TRAILER'S AIR BRAKES, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH WITHOUT WARNING.

Remedy

CARGOTEC WILL NOTIFY ITS CUSTOMERS AND WILL INSTALL THE PRESSURE PROTECTION VALVE FREE OF CHARGE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN MAY 14, 2003. 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 CARGOTEC AT 419-482-6000.
