Alamo Recalls Old Dominion Brush Units Due to Hoist Bolt Failure Risk

Alamo Group is recalling 2021-2023 Old Dominion Brush Company units because a hoist bolt can shear, causing the dump body to drop and potentially injure people.

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 (hoist failure) that can lead to the dump body dropping and colliding with the chassis, increasing the risk of injury. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported are classified as High (3).

Plain-English summary

Alamo Group Inc. is recalling certain 2021-2023 Old Dominion Brush Company DCL1000SE25, DCL800SM30, DCL800SM25, DCL800SM20, DCL800TM30, DCL800TM25, DCL800TM20, and DCL750 vehicles. The recall covers both truck-mounted and trailer-mounted units. The defect involves the bolt between the connecting rod and yoke on the hoist, which can shear, resulting in hoist failure.

Dealers will inspect the hoist and add a pressure relief valve and replace the bolt, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on February 20, 2024.
