The short answer
NHTSA received PARKER HANNIFIN CORP.’s report on Feb 25, 2004. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 24, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
WHEN THE CYLINDER IS THEN EXTENDED TO ITS MAXIMUM STROKE, THE FIFTH STAGE CAN SEPARATE FROM THE CYLINDER ASSEMBLY CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE TRAILER, ALLOWING THE TRAILER TO FREE FALL, POSSIBLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH.
8-INCH; FIVE STAGE TELESCOPIC CYLINDER COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A “SUPER DUMP” MODEL # S85DC-55 AND S85DC-56 FOR USE ON LARGE FRAMED AND FRAMELESS END DUMP TRAILERS AND MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JULY 1996 AND JUNE 2002.
WITH USE, THE PACKING NUT ON THE FOURTH STAGE RETAINING THE PLUNGER CAN LOOSEN, BACKING OFF THE FOURTH STAGE.
THIS CONDITION, IF NOT REMEDIED, CAN CONTINUE UNTIL THE PACKING NUT BACKS COMPLETELY OFF THE STAGE.
IF THIS OCCURS, THERE IS NOTHING TO RETAIN THE FIFTH STAGE (PLUNGER) IN THE ASSEMBLY.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
