What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2018 Altec DM45, DM47B, DC45 and DC47 Digger Derricks and TA50 and TA60 Aerial Devices. The high strength fasteners used to secure the pedestal to the turn table may fail.

The risk

If the fasteners fail, the pedestal may separate from the turn table, increasing the risk of injury.

The remedy

Altec has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the fasteners, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 26, 2018. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is MAB 701.

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.
