⚠️ What's wrong
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2017-2020 DT65-H and DT65-E vehicles. The location of the capacity placard plate could cause a pinch point between the boom and the placard plate.

The recall began on April 16, 2021. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 800.
