What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Custom Truck and Equipment (CTE) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Dominator-Propane, Dominator I, Dominator II, Dominator III, and Dominator IV trucks manufactured April 4, 2013, to January 22, 2016, equipped with IMT cranes, models 6000, 7500, 8600, 9500, 10000, 12000, and 14000. The affected cranes have a valve bank cover that may crack and fall from the crane while the crane is being transported.

The risk

If the valve bank cover detaches from the crane it could be a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

CTE will notify owners, and dealers will replace the valve bank cover, with a thicker gauge cover, free of charge. The recall began on May 28, 2016. Owners may contact Custom Truck customer service at 1-888-712-2962. CTE's number for this recall is TB2016001.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
