What's wrong?
The valve bank cover on the IMT crane is the metal cover over the crane's hydraulic valve bank. That valve bank directs hydraulic flow so the crane can lift, lower, and move as designed. On 2013-2016 Legacy Equipment Dominator I, Dominator Ii, Dominator Iii, Dominator Iv, and Dominator-Propane trucks, the cover is part of the crane hardware carried on the truck.
The recalled cover is larger than the older part it replaced. Because of that larger size, road vibration under certain conditions can shake the cover more than intended. That vibration can fatigue the metal until cracks form, and a cracked cover can break away from the crane while the truck is being transported.
Owners and fleet operators should inspect the valve bank cover for cracks forming around the cover before transport. If cracks are visible, that is the warning sign to remove or replace the cover before the truck is driven.

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2016 Legacy Equipment Dominator I, Dominator Ii, Dominator Iii, Dominator Iv, or Dominator-Propane truck is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Legacy Equipment dealer to schedule the free thicker valve-bank-cover replacement for the crane cover that can crack and fall during transport.
