Big Tex recall: Equipment adaptive/mobility
What is wrong
Big tex is recalling certain model year 2011 10lp, 10lx, 12lp, 12lx, 14gx, 14lx, 14od, 50ds and 70lp dump trailers manufactured from february 24, 2011, through june 6, 2011, and equipped with brennan hydraulic hose adapter fittings. The adapter fittings have been identified as being defective in that they may cause a piece of the fitting to shear off or may result in a hydraulic leak. If the adapter fitting fails, it could cause the dump bed to free fall from a raised position.
What could happen
A falling dump bed could result in personal injury, death, and/or property damage.
The fix
Dealers will replace the adapter fittings free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before july 31, 2011. Owners may contact big tex trailer toll free at 1-800-594-5637 ext. 2121 or the regular phone number at (903) 575-0300 ext. 2121.
