- Manufactured:
- 03/19/1996 - 06/03/2002
- Affected:

- Correction:
- Crane will provide owners with replacement vehicle certification labels and installation instructions. owner notification began october 4, 2002. owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact crane at 1-918-832-7333.
