2009 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.
2009 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.
2009 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.
