What's wrong?

The air brake system on these 2013-2015 Tadano ATF70G-4, ATF100G-4, ATF130G-5, ATF180G-5, ATF220G-5, and ATF400G-6 crane trucks uses compressed air to apply and release the service brakes. Air lines carry that pressure between valves, reservoirs, and brake components. The hose connection has to stay tight so the system keeps enough air pressure for braking and normal movement.

The problem is not the hose or connector design. The recall points to factory assembly quality: an air hose connection was put together incorrectly. If that connection loosens or leaks, the brake system loses air pressure. That loss of pressure can cause a sudden loss of mobility or reduced braking.

The warning sign is the low air warning buzzer. If that buzzer sounds, treat it as a brake air pressure warning and stop using the crane truck until Tadano service can inspect the connection.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.

What's the safety risk?

Loss of air supply can leave the crane without mobility and reduce braking power, increasing crash risk. If the low air warning buzzer sounds, stop in a safe place and contact a Tadano dealer before moving it again. Repair is free at any franchised Tadano dealer.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2015 Tadano ATF70G-4, ATF220G-5, ATF130G-5, ATF400G-6, ATF180G-5, or ATF100G-4 crane truck is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Tadano dealer to schedule the free air-line connection test and repair that addresses sudden loss of mobility or reduced braking.
  3. Bring the recall notice if Tadano has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 16V592 when you call.
  4. Avoid heavy operation until the air connections are tested and repaired.
  5. Call Tadano customer service at 1-281-869-0030 with recall questions.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Tadano technician tests all air connections covered by the recall and repairs any connection that was assembled incorrectly. The inspection and repair work are free under the recall. If you paid out of pocket for a related air line connection repair before the recall work was done, Tadano's general reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring receipts or repair paperwork to the service desk so the claim can be reviewed under that plan.

What is recall 16V592?

Recall 16V592 covers 58 2013-2015 Tadano ATF70G-4, ATF100G-4, ATF130G-5, ATF180G-5, ATF220G-5, and ATF400G-6 all-terrain crane trucks with an improperly assembled air-line connection. The defect can cause sudden loss of mobility or reduced braking power.

What should I do if my 2013-2015 Tadano ATF70G-4, ATF220G-5, ATF130G-5, ATF400G-6, ATF180G-5, or ATF100G-4 is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific crane truck is included in recall 16V592. If it is, contact a Tadano dealer to schedule the air-connection test and repair. Reference recall number 16V592 or Tadano recall number 21602480 when you call.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Tadano dealers will test all air connections and repair affected connections free of charge. Parts and labor are covered for vehicles included in recall 16V592.

What is the safety risk?

The safety risk is reduced braking power or loss of mobility from a loss of air supply. That condition can increase crash risk, especially because these are all-terrain crane trucks that depend on air systems for braking performance.
