STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
- The defect
- Equipment Technology, L.L.C. (ETI) is recalling certain 2018-2021 ETC37IH and ETC40IH vehicles. The weld between the outrigger assembly and the body's sub-frame assembly may be inadequate, which could result in failure of the aerial unit during use.
- What it can cause
- Failure of the aerial unit can increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- ETI will inspect the welds, and repair or replace the rear shear plates, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 22, 2021. Owners may contact ETI customer service at 1-405-748-3841.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|

| ETIETC 40 IH | 2018 to 2021 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 87 vehicles this is a small campaign: 71% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
ETI vehicles have been recalled over the structure once before this, most recently in July 2001 as 01V242000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 21V338000 (equipment), 20V500000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Equipment Technology, L.L.C. with NHTSA on May 12, 2021 as campaign 21V340000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
