2016–2019 Altec Aerial Device recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2016-2019 LR7 Series Aerial Devices. The aerial device can be operated without the rear outriggers being deployed, which may cause the unit to be unstable.
💥 The risk
An unstable aerial device may suddenly collapse, increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Altec will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and correct them to require the proper outrigger operation, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began July 25, 2019. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 720.
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.)
