What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 defect in hydraulic equipment that can lead to loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of injury or crash, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Crysteel Manufacturing Inc. is recalling certain Marathon Telescoping Dump Cylinders with a Black Armor finish. The recall involves 261 units of this equipment.

The telescopic-style hydraulic cylinder may fail and detach from the hoist cradle. If the cylinder detaches, it can contact the cab and cause a loss of control of the dump body, which increases the risk of injury or a crash.
