Jib Boom may Become Loose While Moving

If the jib boom swings outside the trailer while it is being towed, it can increase the risk of injury or a crash.

 

Summary

Charles Machine Works Inc (Charles Machine) is recalling certain 2018 Ditch Witch VT14, VT20 and VT24 trailers with HX30, HX50 or HX75 vacuum excavators equipped with an optional jib boom. The jib boom on these vehicles can become loose from the latching pin mechanism, allowing the boom to swing outside the trailer while being towed.

 

Remedy

Charles Machine will notify owners, and dealers will replace the latching pin with a hook mechanism that goes over the top of the arm, securing it to the trailer structure, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin October 26, 2018. Owners may contact Charles Machine customer service at 1-800-654-6481. Charles Machine’s number for this recall is ID0502488.

 

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.
