IMT Recalls Dominator I Crane Bodies Due to Stabilizer Pin Defect

Iowa Mold Tooling Co. is recalling Dominator I crane bodies because incorrect stabilizer arm locking pins may fail to engage, allowing the arm to extend while driving.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where a component may extend while in motion, explicitly increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury reports.

Plain-English summary

Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc. (IMT) is recalling certain Dominator I crane bodies that were sold for installation onto other chassis. These specific crane bodies are equipped with incorrect stabilizer arm locking pins.

The defect involves locking pins that may not engage properly. If the locking arm pin does not engage, the stabilizer arm may extend from the side of the vehicle while it is in motion. This condition increases the risk of a crash.

IMT will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect pin with a correct length pin free of charge. The recall began on December 20, 2017. Owners may contact IMT customer service at 1-800-247-5958 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
