2014 HEIL FRONT END LOADER GARBAGE

Service bulletins

2 bulletins

Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.

SB-18-297

Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions

This Service Bulletin addresses a mandatory inspection for cracks on Hydraulic Oil Tank Mounting Brackets on Heil Front End Loader (FEL), Automated Side Loader (ASL), and Rear End Loader (REL) units identified in the Products Affected section below. If one or both angle brackets fail, the hydraulic oil tank could become unstable, potentially coming loose from the frame rail. The corrective action is to inspect for cracks on the two Hydraulic Oil Tank Mounting Brackets. The first inspection should be done immediately upon receipt of this bulletin. Contact your local Heil Dealer immediately if cracks are found on either of the brackets. If cracks are found on inspection, take the vehicle to your local Heil Dealer and the Dealer will replace both brackets at no charge to you. Do not try to repair a cracked bracket.

Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
