What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 1992-2000 Aerial Cable Placer AP45 vehicles. The boom tips on these vehicles may crack and fail.

The risk

If the boom tip fails, it can increase the risk of injury.

The remedy

Altec will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the boom tip, replacing any that are of an old design or have cracks, free of charge. The recall began on December 7, 2017. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN655.

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.
