Recalls- Electrical leakage monitoring system. Recall 11V389000 affects 67 units from 1997-2009 with faulty installation of BCM 44B electrical leakage monitoring meters. Wiring may come loose while the meter still appears operational. Risk includes electrical shock or electrocution. Dealers repair free of charge.
- Battery equalizer fire risk. Recall 14V503000 covers 51 units from 2000-2013 with Sure Power Battery Equalizers using a potting compound that can conduct electricity after heat exposure. This may cause melting, burning, and fire risk. Dealers replace affected units free of charge.
- Hydraulic pressure transducer. Recall 14V745000 involves 1,907 aerial devices from 1999-2014 with improper settings causing inadvertent boom movement in cold temperatures. This movement increases risk of injury. The pressure switch is replaced free of charge.
- Outrigger interlock control system. Recall 15V473000 affects 2,514 units from 2006-2015 where the system may fail to detect proper outrigger deployment, risking boom instability. Dealers replace the outrigger interlock module free of charge.
- Engine compartment cable damage. Recall 24V015000 covers 437 AT Series aerial devices from 2004-2023 with cables that may contact the hood causing damage and a short circuit, increasing fire risk. Cables and fuse blocks are inspected and relocated free of charge.
- Boom raise spool shifting. Recall 21V409000 involves 1,977 units from 2005-2021 where lower and upper boom raise spools can shift after control release. This unintended movement increases injury risk. Fix includes installing a jumper hose, check valve, and replacing the blocking cartridge at no cost.
- Air brake system pressure protection. Recall 19V483000 covers 957 vehicles from 2003-2019 with missing pressure protection valves in accessory air components. This defect may lead to service brake pressure loss increasing crash risk. Dealers inspect and repair free of charge.
- Platform leveling yoke failure. Recall 18V110000 affects 18,000 units from 1997-2017 with potential platform leveling yoke failures that could cause occupants to fall. Owners receive inspections and yokes are realigned or replaced free of charge.
Owners dealing with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues related to these defects may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting legal resources regarding vehicle safety recalls and lemon law protections can provide guidance.

2006 ALTEC AERIAL DEVICE
437 vehicles affected
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2004-2023 AT Series aerial devices. The cables in the engine compartment may contact the vehicle's hood, damaging the cables and causing a short circuit.
Risk: A short circuit increases the risk of a fire.
2006 ALTEC AERIAL DEVICE
1977 vehicles affected
EQUIPMENT
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2005-2021 A65, A70, A75, A72-T, A77-T, and A82-T vehicles. The lower and upper boom raise spools can shift after releasing the joystick or control interlock.
Risk: Unintended movement of the lower and upper booms increases the risk of injury.
2006 ALTEC AERIAL DEVICE
957 vehicles affected
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR
Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2003-2019 Altec TA45, TA50, TA55, TA60, L37, L39, LRV, LR7, A-T40C, T40P and AP45 vehicles equipped with air-cushioned pintle hitch and/or accessory air components. The accessories utilizing chassis air supply may be missing pressure protection valves. The accessory lines may not prevent service brake line pressure loss due to failure or leakage in the accessory air system. Additionally, the air cushioned pintle hook may have been connected to the incorrect air lines. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 121, "Air Brake Systems."
Risk: Loss of service brake pressure can increase the risk of a crash.
2006 ALTEC AERIAL DEVICE
18000 vehicles affected
EQUIPMENT
Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 1997-2017 LRV, and LR7 Aerial devices. The platform leveling yoke may fail, possibly causing an occupant to fall from the platform.
Risk: Failure of the platform leveling yoke can cause the occupant of the platform to fall out, increasing their risk of injury.
2006 ALTEC AERIAL DEVICE
2514 vehicles affected
EQUIPMENT
Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain model year 2006-2015 Aerial Devices manufactured from June 1, 2006, through April 1, 2015. The affected aerial devices outrigger interlock control system may not detect proper deployment of the outriggers, allowing for instability of the boom.
Risk: If the aerial device is operated while the outrigger is not properly deployed it can cause instability of the boom, increasing the risk of person injury or death.
2006 ALTEC AERIAL DEVICE
1907 vehicles affected
EQUIPMENT
Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain model year 1999-2014 aerial devices models A65, A70, A75, A72-, A/77-T, A82-T, A72-TE88, and A77-TE93 manufactured January 1, 1999, to July 15, 2014. The affected aerial devices may have an improperly set hydraulic pressure transducer which relieves excessive backpressure in the hydraulic tank circuit.
Risk: In cooler temperatures, the improperly set hydraulic pressure transducer may result in inadvertent boom movement, increasing the risk of injury to the occupant or those nearby.
2006 ALTEC AERIAL DEVICE
51 vehicles affected
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain model year 2000-2013 Aerial Device and Digger Derrick trucks, equipped with Sure Power Battery Equalizers containing a particular epoxy sealing, aka 'potting', compound. The specific potting compound used in the subject products for insulation was found to be capable of conducting electricity after being exposed to heat.
Risk: Once electrically conductive, the material is capable of melting and burning, increasing the risk of a fire.
2006 ALTEC AERIAL DEVICE
67 vehicles affected
EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
ALTEC IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 1997-2009 AERIAL DEVICES MANUFACTURED FROM JUNE 1997 THROUGH JULY 2009, EQUIPPED WITH A BCM 44B ELECTRICAL LEAKAGE MONITORING SYSTEM.
