Caterpillar Inc. recall 19V462000
Caterpillar Inc. (Caterpillar) is recalling certain 2015-2019 Progress Rail 75HRT SkyTrim Hi-Rail vehicles. The boom cradle includes a support plate that may block the driver's visibility. Additionally, the slew may be insufficient, which may result in the detachment of the boom from the cradle while the vehicle is in motion.
What can happen
The lack of visibility may increase the risk of crash. The detachment of the boom and cradle may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash.
Repair
Caterpillar will notify owners, and Progress Rail dealers will relocate the boom cradle to provide visibility for the driver, and revise the boom hydraulic circuit to prevent an inadvertent boom in the event of a hose failure or leak. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began August 12, 2019. Owners may contact Caterpillar customer service at 1-800-447-4986.
