On certain aerial devices installed on utility service vehicles (to elevate personnel in order to facilitate working on overhead service lines, for tree trimming, etc.), cracks can develop in the welds for the lower boom hinge pin boss. Failure of these welds could cause unexpected boom movement, which could allow the aerial platform to fall. This could result in property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Authorized service facilities will inspect and, if necessary, repair weld the cracks, and install reinforcing plates.
