- The defect
- Palfinger USA, LLC (Palfinger) is recalling certain 2015-2021 PW32001, PW32001-A, PW32001-SLE, PW35001, PW35001-SH, PW38001, PW42001, and PW50001 cranes. The shear plates may develop fatigue cracks.
- What it can cause
- The cracks may cause the shear plate to fail, allowing the boom tip and any attached load to fall, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Palfinger will inspect the cranes, and convert to an updated mounting design, as necessary, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed on December 29, 2021. Owners may contact Palfinger customer service at 1-419-448-8156.
- 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.nhtsa.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 .

How this campaign compares
At 316 vehicles this is a small campaign: 54% 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 2015 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Palfinger vehicles have been recalled over the equipment once before this, most recently in April 2021 as 21V254000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 Palfinger USA, LLC with NHTSA on October 27, 2021 as campaign 21V847000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
