What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2017 Altec AT37, AT41 and AT48 aerial devices. Some of the fasteners that secure the pedestal to the chassis may be missing or may be loose which can cause a loss of stability or separation of the pedestal.

The risk

A pedestal that is not secure can increase the risk of injury.

The remedy

Altec will notify owners and will repair the vehicles, free of charge. The recall began January 31, 2019. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 706.

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.
