What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Altec LR7, TA50, TA55, TA60, and TA45M-T50 Aerial Devices. The fasteners that are used to secure the turntable to the pedestal may fail.

The risk

If multiple fasteners fail, the pedestal and turntable may separate, increasing the risk of death or injury.

The remedy

Altec has notified owners and dealers will inspect and replace the defective fasteners, free of charge. The recall began April 18, 2019. Owners may contact Altec customer service 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is MAB 716.

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.
