⚠️ What's wrong
Altec is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Digger Derrick models D2/3/4 and DC/DL/DM manufactured June 2012 through July 2013. The bolts that attach the winch motor to the winch may not be properly tightened and may become loose.
💥 The risk
If the bolts come loose, the winch motor may detach causing the load to fall, which may result in personal injury.
🔧 The fix
Altec will notify owners and Altec service personnel will check and correct the torque of the winch motor bolts. The recall is expected to begin September 12, 2013. Owner's may contact Altec at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's recall number is CSN 586.
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.)
