- The defect
- Maintainer Corporation of Iowa, Inc. (Maintainer) is recalling certain 2019-2023 Maintainer Service Trucks with Hydraulic Telescopic Cranes. During crane operation, if power gets disconnected to the receiver on the Maintainer crane, the crane may continue to move without control of the user.
- What it can cause
- Losing control over the crane while it is moving may increase the risk of injury to the operator or those nearby.
- What the dealer does
- Maintainer will install a software update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning February 7, 2023. Owners may contact Maintainer customer service at 1-800-831-8588.
- 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 1,120 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 60% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Maintainer vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 2 times before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V518000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 22V139000 (electrical system), 22V074000 (electrical system).
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 Maintainer Corporation of Iowa, Inc. with NHTSA on February 7, 2023 as campaign 23V057000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
