Does this affect my vehicle?
The manufacturer did not publish a build-date range for this recall, so the model and year list below is the only way to tell whether your vehicle is covered.
- Stahl Hoist
What the defect is
Equipment description: hoist model number 1200 with a 6 inch cylinder, hoist model number 1600 with a 5 inch cylinder, and hoist model number 1600 with a 6 inch cylinder manufactured before august 1999. Due to low tolerance to changes in the center of gravity that can occur if a weld separates between the hoist's lower shaft and the hoist's lower mounting angle, raising the potential for the vehicle to tip-over when the hoist is elevated. Tip-over is more likely to occur when the hoist in being operated on an incline.
What could happen
If a truck equipped with a hoist should tip-over, injury could occur to an occupant of the truck or to a person adjacent to the truck.
What gets fixed
STAHL WILL REPLACE THE HOIST FREE OF CHARGE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN AUGUST 30, 2001.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 22 August 2001.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.
Manufacturer contact
Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact stahl at 800-392-7251.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
