The defect
Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2017 Altec AT37, AT41 and AT48 aerial devices. The hydraulic line protective hose sock may have been incorrectly installed through the insulating section of the lower boom.
The risk
The incorrectly installed protective hose sock can cause the potential for electrical continuity through the lower boom, increasing the risk of an electrical shock.
The remedy
Altec will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the hydraulic hose bundle on the articulating arm and remove any hose sock in the insulated section, free of charge. The recall began November 14, 2018. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 693.
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.
