Recall 02V-231: 1996–2002 Crane COE, 1996–2002 Crane DR20104 and 6 more
CRANE CARRIER COMPANY recall for equipment, reported to NHTSA on Sep 5, 2002, covering about 86 vehicles.
The problem
On certain tag and pusher axle assemblies purchased from ridewell, the axle assemblies have an actual weight rating less than that specified on the label and therefore fail to comply with the requirements of part 567.5, "certification."
The risk
Loading the tag/pusher axle to the gawr label rating or loading the vehicle to the gvwr label rating will cause the pusher/tag axle to be overloaded.
The fix
Crane will provide owners with replacement vehicle certification labels and installation instructions. Owner notification began october 4, 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact crane at 1-918-832-7333.
Notes
Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
