ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
NHTSA #06V484000Reported December 15, 2006 · GENIE INDUSTRIES, INC.
Potentially affected: 347 vehicles
Defect description
ON CERTAIN TRAILER MOUNTED AERIAL WORK PLATFORM BOOMS, THE OUTRIGGERS (STABILIZERS) CAN FUNCTION WHEN THE MACHINE IS NOT IN A FULLY STOWED POSITION.
Safety consequence
THE DOWN LIMIT SWITCH AND ITS LOCATION ON THE MACHINE ALLOW THE LIMIT SWITCH TO BE ACTIVATED WHEN IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH THE BOOM ARM, MAKING IT POSSIBLE TO RAISE THE OUTRIGGERS WHILE THE PLATFORM IS ELEVATED, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE OPERATOR.
Manufacturer remedy
GENIE WILL PROVIDE A LIMIT SWITCH REPLACEMENT KIT AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO OWNERS OF ALL AFFECTED MACHINES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 11, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT GENIE AT 1-877-738-7530.

STEERING:LINKAGES
NHTSA #06V169000Reported May 18, 2006 · HINO MOTORS SALES U.S.A., INC.
Potentially affected: 5,072 vehicles
Defect description
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, DURING ASSEMBLY, THE DRAG LINK ATTACHMENT NUTS AT THE PITMAN ARM AND STEERING ARM MAY HAVE BEEN INCORRECTLY TORQUED. RESIDUAL GREASE AND PAINT WHICH WAS APPLIED AS A RUST INHIBITOR ON THE STEERING ARM MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO A LOSS OF TORQUE AFTER ASSEMBLY.
Safety consequence
INCREASED WEAR FOR THE DRAGLINK CONNECTIONS CAN OCCUR CREATING A NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT OF STEERING WHEEL FREE PLAY. IF THIS CONDITION WAS IGNORED, A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE COULD OCCUR WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
Manufacturer remedy
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE STEERING ARM TIGHTNESS AND REMOVE ALL GREASE AND PAINT FROM THE STEERING ARMS AND RETORQUE THE DRAGLINK ATTACHMENT NUTS AT THE STEERING ARM AND PITMAN ARM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 12, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HINO AT 1-248-648-6430.
