2019–2022 Altec Aerial Device recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2019-2022 AT41ME aerial devices. The material handling interlocking valve may lose power when the outriggers are not set, allowing the jib winch to be operated while the outriggers are up.
💥 The risk
Outriggers that are not set when loads are being lifted by the jib winch may cause the unit to tip, increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Altec will install a visual indication system to show when the outriggers are set or not set, and provide a new pre-operational inspection placard, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 16, 2022. Owners may contact Altec's customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 3030.
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.)
