Bucher Municipal North America is recalling 381 vehicles, specifically 2014-2020 Johnston VT651, VT652, VS651, VS652, VT801, VS802, and Bucher V65t models. A pin that secures the hydraulic cylinder for the rear door can corrode and break over time. If this pin fails, the heavy rear door can fall unexpectedly while being operated or while open. Owners should contact an authorized dealer to have the hydraulic rear door cylinder pin inspected and replaced free of charge.
The pin securing the rear door can snap due to corrosion, causing the door to fall suddenly. This poses a significant danger of striking operators or bystanders, which can lead to serious impact injuries.
