Defect

On electric forklifts, specific impurities may have been introduced during manufacture of the gasket at the battery terminal post. These impurities cause corrosion of the terminal post. If the vehicle continues to be operated in this condition, the terminal post may fracture, cutting off vehicle power. In the worst case, the vehicle may become inoperable.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, verify the battery stamp marking. On affected vehicles, replace the battery with a conforming unit.
