2016–2022 Altec Digger Derrick: Equipment recall
NHTSA campaign 22V349000 · 477 units potentially affected · filed May 18, 2022
What's wrong
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2016-2022 E-series & DH-H series Digger Derricks. The relay connectors may have been reattached to the incorrect plug after a stability test was performed. If the connections are not correct, the hydraulic overload protection system will not function.
Why it matters
A nonfunctional overload protection system may result in the operator unknowingly overloading the system, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Altec will inspect and reattach the connectors, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 29, 2022. Owners may contact Altec's customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 858.
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.
