DEFECT OR NONCOMPLIANCE INVOLVED:

Iowa Mold Tooling Company, Inc. (IMT) has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some IMT supplied radio remote control transmitters for service crane operation.

IMT has identified certain transmitters shipped on aftermarket support orders may fail to operate as intended due to the use of an improper diode in the manufacturing process.  The defective transmitters can be identified by serial number.  The control may operate a function other than the one expected or may fail to operate at all. The recall population consists of part numbers 70734348, 70733882 and 70733883 shipped between October 22, 2018 and November 8, 2018.

Affected transmitters will be replaced through the IMT aftermarket parts ordering and warranty process at no cost to the owner.  Defective transmitters can be identified and replaced by contacting IMT Technical Support at 800-554-4421, option 2.  IMT is contacting distributors of record to notify them of the recall.  Distributors will need to contact customers you sold transmitters to so that replacement can be arranged.  The repair consists of replacing the transmitter with a new transmitter with the proper diode installed.  Any owners who may have completed their crane repair prior to this recall campaign will be reimbursed for the cost of the repair per the IMT warranty process.

 

EQUIPMENT INVOLVED:

The components involved are IMT radio remote control transmitters with part numbers 70734348, 70733882 and 70733883 shipped between October 22, 2018 and November 8, 2018. Distributor specific affected order list is noted above.

Distributors must contact customers who purchased these products to inform them of the recall and arrange for repairs.

It is the distributor’s responsibility to contact any owners on the attached list and to support service for this remedy.  Make sure the customer is aware the remedy will be performed without charge.
