2009–2010 Altec Altec recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Altec is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Altec digger derricks built from april 2009 through may 2010. The turntable devices on these vehicles have used high strength fasteners that may fail due to stress corrosion and cracking.
💥 The risk
Failure of a fastener could cause the pedestal to separate from the turntable and may cause an occupant to fall from the vehicle and suffer injury.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the fasteners free of charge. The safety recall began on october 15, 2010. Owners may contact Altec at 1-877-462-5832.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
