Alamo Group Inc. is recalling approximately 195 Old Dominion Brush Company dump trucks from model years 2021 through 2023 because a critical bolt in the hoist mechanism can break. This defect can cause the hoist to fail, resulting in the dump body dropping suddenly and hitting the vehicle chassis. Affected models include the DCL1000SE25, DCL800SM30, DCL800SM25, DCL800SM20, DCL800TM30, DCL800TM25, DCL800TM20, and DCL750. Owners should contact their dealer to have the hoist inspected and repaired free of charge.
The bolt connecting the rod and yoke on the hoist can shear (break), causing the hoist to fail. This allows the heavy dump body to drop forcefully onto the vehicle's chassis, which can cause sudden instability or impact, increasing the risk of injury to operators or bystanders.
Inspection, pressure relief valve installation, and bolt replacement.
