The issue
On certain vehicles, the digger bail pins were not hardened to the manufacturer's specifications and can develop cracks. If the pin were to fail, the digger link could separate from the digger bail allowing it to swing freely. Death or serious injury could result from being hit by a swinging auger. Correction: Dealers will replace the digger bail pins.
Description (français)
Sur certains véhicules, les tiges de la flèche n'ont pas été durcies conformément aux spécifications du fabricant et pourraient se fissurer. Si les tiges lâchaient, la tarière pourrait se détacher de la flèche et se balancer librement. Une personne pourrait mourir ou être gravement blessée en étant frappée par une tarière qui se balance. Correction: Les concessionnaires devront remplacer les tiges visées.
