The problem
The Heil Co. (Heil) is recalling certain 2018-2020 front end loader garbage trucks. Excessive vibrations may cause the front head hydraulic tubes to leak.
The risk
A hydraulic fluid leak in the presence of an ignition source, such as hot engine or exhaust components, can increase the risk of a fire.
The fix
Heil will install stabilizing clamps, new hydraulic tubes, and update the software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 30, 2025. Owners may contact Heil's customer service at 1-866-275-4345.
