Maintainer Corporation of Iowa is recalling approximately 1,120 Maintainer Service Trucks from model years 2019 through 2023 that are equipped with Hydraulic Telescopic Cranes. The recall was initiated because the crane can continue moving unexpectedly if power is disconnected from the receiver during operation. Maintainer will provide a free software update to address this malfunction, and owner notification letters began mailing in February 2023.
If power is lost to the crane's receiver, the operator may lose the ability to stop or direct the crane's movement. This uncontrolled movement poses a serious risk of injury to the crane operator and any workers or bystanders in the vicinity of the heavy machinery.
