Issue

These vehicles are freight trucks converted to dump trucks with a sliding bed mechanism. Operating the vehicle under severe conditions — such as repeatedly raising and lowering an overloaded dump bed — can cause cracks to develop in the frame. Continued operation allows the cracks to propagate and, in the worst case, fracture the frame.

Corrective action

On all vehicles, reinforcement plates are added to the frame. Any frame showing cracks or deformation is repaired.
