Custom Truck Recalls Dominator Trucks with IMT Crane Valve Cover Defect

Custom Truck is recalling 2013-2016 Dominator trucks equipped with specific IMT cranes because the valve bank cover may crack and fall off, creating a road hazard.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural component that may detach and create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash, which fits the criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Custom Truck and Equipment (CTE) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Dominator-Propane, Dominator I, Dominator II, Dominator III, and Dominator IV trucks. The recall affects vehicles manufactured between April 4, 2013, and January 22, 2016, that are equipped with IMT cranes, specifically models 6000, 7500, 8600, 9500, 10000, 12000, and 14000.

The affected cranes have a valve bank cover that may crack and fall from the crane while the vehicle is being transported. If the valve bank cover detaches, it could become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

CTE will notify owners, and dealers will replace the valve bank cover with a thicker gauge cover free of charge. The recall began on May 28, 2016. Owners may contact Custom Truck customer service at 1-888-712-2962 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
