The short answer

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
The lack of visibility may increase the risk of crash. The detachment of the boom and cradle may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash.
Caterpillar Inc.
(Caterpillar) is recalling certain 2015-2019 Progress Rail 75HRT SkyTrim Hi-Rail vehicles.
The boom cradle includes a support plate that may block the driver’s visibility.
Additionally, the slew may be insufficient, which may result in the detachment of the boom from the cradle while the vehicle is in motion.
