Check whether your vehicle is affected and follow the manufacturer’s recall instructions — the repair is free.
A cracked weld may result in the collapse of the crane column when in use, increasing the risk of injury to the operator or others nearby.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 18, 2026. Owners may contact Hiab customer service at (844) 442-2911.
