Auto Truck recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Auto Truck Inc. (Auto Truck) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 IMT Dominator Series III vehicles manufactured April 4, 2013, to January 22, 2016, 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.

Auto Truck will notify owners, and dealers will replace the valve bank cover, with a thicker cover, free of charge. The recall began on June 29, 2016. Owners may contact Auto Truck customer service at 1-855-288-6875. Auto Truck's number for this recall is TB2016001, and TB2016002.
