The hazard

On certain low speed vehicles, a crack may develop in the frame tube under the vehicle's cab. This could lead to a failure of the upper cab frame, which could cause injury and/or increase the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will install an additional frame brace to each lower frame tube to strengthen the potential failure area.
