Plain-English summary

Crane Carrier Company is recalling three model year 2009 LET2 cab and chassis utility vehicles manufactured between April 24, 2009, and September 15, 2009. These specific vehicles are equipped with ELFA traction drive motors.

The recall addresses a defect where the electric motor's speed sensor signal may be misinterpreted by the motor controller. This error may result in the vehicle lurching in the opposite direction of the range selected with the shifter. The unintended movement of the vehicle may cause a collision with a person or object, leading to property damage, personal injury, or death.

Crane Carrier notified the owners of the three affected units on January 26, 2012. The company will conduct the remedy for this campaign free of charge. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit safercar.gov for more information.
