Service bulletin SB-18-302

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary

Also see SB-18-300 for the original notification of this issue. SB-18-302 adds certain Rear End Loaders to the Products Affected section below and adds repair instructions for both the Front End Loader/Automated Side Loader 4-Hole Pin Mount Kit (372-8847) and the Rear End Loader 3-Hole Pin Mount Kit (372-8848). The only difference between the kits is the Spacer Plate hole configuration. Heil has identified the potential for a weld defect on certain Heil Front End Loaders, Automated Side Loaders and Rear End Loaders manufactured from June 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018. The potential defect relates to improper welding of the Rear Mounting Pin Weldments, Heil P/N 211-5256. For Service Hoist or Service Lift equipped Front End Loaders, these two pins (one on each side of the frame rail) hinge the body structure during Service Hoist or Service Lift raising and lowering operations. Utilizing the Service Hoist or Service Lift may cause the raised body to become unstable.
