What this recall covers

The defect

Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain model year 2006-2015 Aerial Devices manufactured from June 1, 2006, through April 1, 2015. The affected aerial devices outrigger interlock control system may not detect proper deployment of the outriggers, allowing for instability of the boom.

Altec will notify owners, and dealers will replace the aerial device with a new outrigger interlock module, free of charge. The recall began on September 4, 2015. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-205-991-7733. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 625.

A 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.
