Issue
On certain trailers equipped with the 500 or 800 gallon vacuum excavator, the tank mounting can break, which could allow the tank to fall from the trailer during dumping or transporting. A tank assembly separating from the trailer could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install an updated tank mounting kit.
