2017–2021 Altec Aerial Device: Equipment recall
NHTSA campaign 22V058000 · 157 units potentially affected · filed Feb 3, 2022
What's wrong
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2017-2021 LS60 aerial devices. The outer-race rotation bearing bolt washers may interfere with an adjacent pedestal weld, which could cause the rotation bearing bolts to break.
Why it matters
Broken bolts can cause the pedestal to separate from the turntable, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Altec will inspect the outer rotation bolt washers and repair the pedestal as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 4, 2022. Owners may contact Altec's customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 846.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
