Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.
0
Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

SIL-3125

EQUIPMENT

Altec Industries, Inc. has issued a customer satisfaction campaign as described in the Service Information Letter (SIL). Altec has updated the preventive maintenance procedures for the boom tip pin retaining plate on certain A Class and A Class Elevator model units built from June 1997 to November 2023.

SIL 785

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Altec has discovered that affected units may not have a PTO request wire properly connected to the transmission control module. Without this wire installed, the chassis may not produce the hydraulic pressure required for proper PTO clutch pack engagement. Altec requires the unit to be inspected for the PTO request wire no later than the next periodic maintenance interval or 90 days from the receipt of the SIL, whichever comes first. If the inspection procedure in the SIL confirms that the PTO request wire is missing, order the PTO Request Wire Kit and install the kit no later than 6 months from the receipt of this SIL.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
