What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2019-2020 DT65-E, D3000-E, and DH-E Digger Derricks Aerial devices. Operators could inadvertently open the pole guide while performing other tasks, possibly resulting in a loss of control of the load.

The risk

If the pole guide is opened while performing other operations, the pole may become unbalanced and cause loss of control of the load, increasing the risk of injury or death.

The remedy

Altec will notify owners and will install a guard kit over the pole guide controls, free of charge. The recall began May 5, 2020. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 754.

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.
