What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2015-2016 AH125, AH150, and HL125 aerial device vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the rotation bearing fasteners may fail.

The risk

If the fasteners that attach the aerial device to the truck fail, the boom may unintentionally move, increasing the risk of personal injury or death to the aerial device user or those nearby.

The remedy

Altec has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and if necessary replace the fasteners, free if charge. The recall began on February 24, 2017. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is MAB 651.

Notes

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.safercar.gov.

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.
