2000–2008 Altec AT35-G & 2000–2008 Altec AT37-G recall: equipment

⚠️ What's wrong

Altec is recalling certain model year 1998-2008 aerial devices vehicles built from january 1998 through may 2008. The glue bond joint in the insulating arm link may fail over time. The connection is also secured by eight bolts, but with the loss of the glue bond, the fasteners could fatigue over time and fail.

💥 The risk

Failure of the glue bond and fasteners could result in separation of the fiberglass link from the steel inserts. As a result, the platform on which a service technician would stand could fail during use resulting in death or serious injury.

Altec will provide instructions on how to inspect the fiberglass insulating link and fasteners. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on december 1, 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.)
