The issue
On certain vehicles, the aluminium bracket that support the hydraulic cab tilt mechanism may fail, allowing the cab to either fall unrestrained back onto chassis or if past the break over point, fall forward to the ground. Either scenario may result in personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the affected brackets.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, le support en aluminium qui soutient le mécanisme hydraulique d'inclinaison de la cabine pourrait faire défaut et la cabine pourrait retomber brusquement sur le châssis ou, en cas de dépassement du point de rupture, tomber au sol. Dans les deux cas, cela pourrait blesser quelqu'un ou entraîner des pertes de vies. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les supports visés.
