The Heil Co. is recalling 408 front end loader garbage trucks from the 2021-2022 model years. These vehicles may have missing vertical welds on the automatic front loader (AFL) arm, which can cause the arm to crack and fall. Heil will inspect and repair or replace the affected arms free of charge, though the company reports that all affected trucks were previously repaired by July 28, 2023.
