2002–2005 Crane IR & 2004–2005 Crane WS recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain drill rigs and well service rigs equipped with bendix antilock brake system (ABS), the air brake valving installed on the drive axles of certain tri-drive axle is inadequate and it does not have the correct air valve configuration for the rapid release and reapplication of air necessary for the ABS to function.
💥 The risk
Reduced braking performance could increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will install two relay air valves so that the valves will facilitate the rapid exhaust of air required for the ABS system to function optimally free of charge. The recall began on february 11, 2005. Owners may contact crane carrier at 918-832-7305.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
