Descriptive Information:
●The basis for how the recall population was determined:
The recall population was determined based exclusively on field incident reports from a single rental
customer (Greg Rents). We have isolated 12 specific units (Model Years 2020 and 2023) in their fleet
that exhibited severe frame bending at the base of the tow bar. We are currently checking if they own
any other units. If additional units are identified in their fleet, we will update this information accordingly.
●How the recalled products differ from products that were not included in the recall:
The recalled products are limited to these 12 units, which were subjected to towing and operational
conditions specific to this particular rental fleet. The severe frame bending occurred because the units
continued to be towed excessively even after the pivot hole was already damaged. Other units in the
field have not exhibited this severe failure. Furthermore, newer models starting from serial number
G4700537 (VIN: JP9B10815RT008101 and above) are excluded from this recall, as they are
manufactured with a reinforced tow bar pivot hole. For older units in the field, if any initial damage is
found at the pivot hole, we have developed a bolt-on reinforcement bracket that covers the tow bar and
are supplying it as needed.
