What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2005-2021 A65, A70, A75, A72-T, A77-T, and A82-T vehicles. The lower and upper boom raise spools can shift after releasing the joystick or control interlock.

The risk

Unintended movement of the lower and upper booms increases the risk of injury.

The remedy

Altec will install a jumper hose and check valve into the boomtip tank lines and replace the overcenter blocking cartridge with an internally referenced drain path, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 28, 2021. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 823.

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.nhtsa.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.
