1999–2022 Altec L Series Aerial Device, Altec LR Series Aerial Device: Equipment recall
NHTSA campaign 23V433000 · 3,824 units potentially affected · filed Jun 16, 2023
What's wrong
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 1999-2022 L Series and LR Series aerial devices. A hydraulic hose may have been installed between the cylinder port and load-holding valve instead of metallic tubing, which can result in a damaged hydraulic hose and failure of the load-holding feature.
Why it matters
Failure of the load-holding feature can result in unintended movement of the platform or load, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Altec will inspect the units for a hydraulic hose and replace it with specified metallic tubing, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 11, 2023. Owners may contact Altec customer service 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 3090.
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.
