- Summary
- On certain tag and pusher axle assemblies purchased from ridewell, the axle assemblies have an actual weight rating less than that specified on the label and therefore fail to comply with the requirements of part 567.5, "certification."
- Consequence
- Loading the tag/pusher axle to the GAWR label rating or loading the vehicle to the GVWR label rating will cause the pusher/tag axle to be overloaded.
- Remedy
- Crane will provide owners with replacement vehicle certification labels and installation instructions. Owner notification began October 4, 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact crane at 1-918-832-7333.
- Notes
- Also, customers can contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

Has your Crane been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Crane dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
