Problem Legacy Equipment Company (LEC) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Dominator-Propane, Dominator I, Dominator II, Dominator III, and Dominator IV trucks equipped with IMT cranes, models 6000, 7500, 8600, 9500, 10000, 12000, and 14000. The affected cranes have a valve bank cover that may crack and fall from the crane while the crane is being transported. Risk If the valve bank cover detaches from the crane it could be a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. Fix LEC will notify owners, and dealers will replace the valve bank cover, with a thicker gauge cover, free of charge. The recall began on June 3, 2016. Owners may contact LEC customer service at 1-801-975-0400. LEC's number for this recall is TB2016001 - IMT dist.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. TB2016001 - IMT dist is the number Legacy Equipment assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 16V255000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
