Defect Summary

Tbei is recalling 605 crysteel truck hoists manufactured between january 23 and march 19, 2008. the affected hoists were sold only as after market for use on dump truck applications. each tension arm of the hoist was supposed to have 6 welds. instead, each arm may have only 5 welds. the stress on each tension arm of a hoist with 5 welds was significantly more than it would be with 6 welds.

Safety Consequence

These stresses could ultimately cause a premature failure of the hoist which could result in the lower arms breaking and the body falling. the sudden jolt of the falling body hitting the truck frame could cause the vehicle to bounce, possibly causing the driver to lose control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action

Tbei will notify owners and repair the hoists free of charge. the recall began on april 21, 2008. owners may contact tbei at 952-941-0752.
