Description

AUTOCAR IS RECALLING 7 MY 2008 ACX CHASSIS ASSEMBLIES WHICH WERE SOLD TO GROVE U.S. LLC. GROVE CONVERTS THESE CHASSIS INTO CRANES.

Injuries / Consequence

INSUFFICIENT TORQUE ON THE FASTENER THAT CLAMPS THE ASSEMBLIES TOGETHER COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
