Adkins recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Adkins Truck Equipment Co. (Adkins) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Dominator-Propane, Dominator I, Dominator II, Dominator III, and Dominator IV trucks equipped with IMT cranes, models 6000, 7500, 8600, 9500, 10000, 12000, or 14000. The affected cranes have a valve bank cover that may crack and fall from the crane while the crane is being transported..
What could happen
If the valve bank cover detaches from the crane it could be a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
