The ladder speed accelerating without warning can increase the risk of injury to the ladder user or those nearby.
5 safety recall campaigns, 1 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
The ladder speed accelerating without warning can increase the risk of injury to the ladder user or those nearby.
If the ladder contacts the truck or is placed off of the short jack side of the truck there may be a increased risk of injury.
If the water way trolley separates from the ladder, it may fall, increasing the risk of injury to those nearby.
If the front grille detaches from the vehicle while driving, it could become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
The unintended turning on or off of accessories such as emergency beacons or automatic snow chains can increase the risk of a crash.
Two 2013 KME PREDATOR AERIALs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
