The issue
On certain vehicles, the cab mounted bracket attached to the hydraulic cylinder used to raise and lower the cab for maintenance may fail, allowing the cab to either fall unrestrained back onto the chassis, or if past the break over point, fall forward to the ground. Either scenario could cause personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, le support fixé sur la cabine et sur le vérin hydraulique qui est utilisé pour soulever et abaisser la cabine pour effectuer la maintenance pourrait faire défaut, ce qui permettrait à la cabine de retomber brusquement sur le châssis ou, si le point de rupture est dépassé, de tomber vers l'avant jusqu'au sol. Les deux scénarios pourraient blesser quelqu'un ou entraîner des pertes de vies. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront effectuer les réparations nécessaires.
