Heil Company affected bodies are those which have a bolt on rear hinge assembly but do not have structural gussets to reinforce the Z-PLATE.
The short version
HEIL COMPANY reported a problem with the equipment mechanical. Here is what owners need to know.
AFFECTED BODIES ARE THOSE WHICH HAVE A BOLT ON REAR HINGE ASSEMBLY BUT DO NOT HAVE STRUCTURAL GUSSETS TO REINFORCE THE Z-PLATE. CRACKING CAN OCCUR IN THE Z-PLATE AREA AND A FAILURE CAN RESULT WHEN THE BODY IS IN THE RAISED POSITION DURING WASTE UNLOADING PROCEDURES.
THE BODY CAN BECOME UNSTABLE WHEN RAISED DURING DUMPING OPERATIONS AND CAUSE THE TRUCK TO ROLL OVER ON ITS SIDE INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURIES.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND INSTALL THE BOLT ON HINGE KIT FREE OF CHARGE.
