What's wrong?
The hose reel tilt cylinder on 2019-2022 Alamo Group Alljetvac vehicles moves the hose reel into position for work or maintenance. At the end of that cylinder rod, a clevis is a forked metal connector that links the rod to the hose reel. That connection has to hold the reel securely while the cylinder pushes or pulls it.
On affected vehicles, the clevis is too short for proper thread engagement with the cylinder rod. In plain terms, not enough of the threaded rod is seated inside the connector. That short engagement wears the clevis threads early, weakening the connection until the hose reel can separate and fall to the ground.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue was found on vehicles that were stationary for maintenance with the hose reel tilted forward, so service crews should not rely on a noise, light, or visible symptom before the connection gives way.
