2013–2016 Adkins Dominator I & 2013–2016 Adkins Dominator II + 3 more recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Adkins Truck Equipment Co. (Adkins) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Dominator-Propane, Dominator I, Dominator II, Dominator III, and Dominator IV trucks equipped with IMT cranes, models 6000, 7500, 8600, 9500, 10000, 12000, or 14000. The affected cranes have a valve bank cover that may crack and fall from the crane while the crane is being transported..
💥 The risk
If the valve bank cover detaches from the crane it could be a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Adkins will notify owners, and dealers will replace the valve bank cover with a thicker cover, free of charge. The recall began during May 2016. Owners may contact Adkins customer service at 1-704-596-2299. Adkins' number for this recall is 16E-012.
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.)
