The slope indicator placard on certain digger derricks may have incorrect information. This could make a user think that it is not necessary to level the unit while working on a slope. A unit that is not properly levelled could be unstable.
An unstable derrick unit could create a risk of injury.
The company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to remove the incorrect slope indicator placard.
On certain vehicles, the digger bail pins were not hardened to the manufacturer's specifications and can develop cracks. If the pin were to fail, the digger link could separate from the digger bail allowing it to swing freely. Death or serious injury could result from being hit by a swinging auger.
