What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2017 AT Aerial Devices mounted on Ford F-550 chassis. A circuit breaker located under the hood may contact the hood, potentially resulting in an electrical short.

The risk

An electrical short can increase the risk of a fire.

The remedy

Altec has notified owners, and dealers will update the circuit breaker bracket and install a insulating chafe pad, free of charge. The recall began on January 12, 2018. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-205-991-7733. Altec's number for this recall is MAB 675.

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.
