2004–2023 Altec Digger Derrick: Equipment recall
NHTSA campaign 23V636000 · 53 units potentially affected · filed Sep 14, 2023
What's wrong
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2004-2023 DL42 and DL45 Digger Derricks. The incorrect hydraulic load holding valve may have been installed, which can cause the winch to lower uncontrollably and the load to fall.
Why it matters
An uncontrolled load falling increases the risk of injury to personnel or others nearby.
The fix
Altec will replace the load holding valve, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 6, 2023. Owners may contact Altec's customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is MAB 3113.
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.
