The problem

Adkins Truck Equipment Co. (Adkins) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Dominator-Propane, Dominator I, Dominator II, Dominator III, and Dominator IV trucks equipped with IMT cranes, models 6000, 7500, 8600, 9500, 10000, 12000, or 14000. The affected cranes have a valve bank cover that may crack and fall from the crane while the crane is being transported..

The risk

If the valve bank cover detaches from the crane it could be a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Adkins will notify owners, and dealers will replace the valve bank cover with a thicker cover, free of charge. The recall began during May 2016. Owners may contact Adkins customer service at 1-704-596-2299. Adkins' number for this recall is 16E-012.
