What's wrong?
The hoist subframe on 2017-2021 Reading Truck Marauder Dump vehicles is the support structure for the dump body hoist. It is bolted and welded to the chassis frame, and the rear pivot mounts help carry the load as the body raises and lowers. Those mounts need solid welds on the mating joints so the hoist can move without the subframe pulling away from the truck frame.
On affected trucks, the rear pivot mount weld was not made to the required standard. Installation instructions were not followed, and the quality inspection was not completed and recorded. With poor weld penetration, the joint can crack and the rear pivot mount can fail while the dump body hoist is being used.
The warning sign is weld cracking around the rear subframe pivot mount area. If you see cracking, stop using the dump body hoist and have the truck inspected before more load is placed on the mount.
