• Recall 2017590 [Canada]: Accessories
  On certain fire trucks, the retaining ring(s) in the relief valve assembly may not have been made using high grade stainless steel, causing it to deteriorate over time due to frequent exposure to water.

Dynamax dx3. Consumer writes in regards to defective power gear slideout. *ld the consumer stated the slide came out while driving. Two repair attempts were made but, the slide continued to come out. *js

We purchased a brand new box truck from i state truck (inver grove heights, mn). They dot'd the truck before we took possession of it. On 11/27/17 we were pulled over by a state trooper for a road side inspection. We failed the inspection for the "rear impact guard." we notified i state immediately and asked them to fix it. They couldn't or wouldn't complete the task within 2 weeks so we brought it to another facility. I state should not sell or dot trucks that do not meet all dot requirements. In trying to resolve this issue directly with i state, they accused delta waseca for the issue because delta waseca manufactured the box and the lift gate. In a conversation with delta waseca on 6/12/18, the delta waseca rep admitted that they know the dot requirement but none of their trucks meet it. Delta waseca should not be allowed to sell or manufacture trucks that do not meet all dot requirements.
