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.
2010 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.
2010 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.
2010 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.
2010 ALTEC AERIAL DEVICE
530 vehicles affected
STRUCTURE
Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2008-2018 Aerial Devices equipped with aluminum work platforms. The platform mounting holes may fail, causing the platform to move unexpectedly.
Risk: If the platform moves unexpectedly, it can increase the risk of injury.
2010 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.
2010 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.
2010 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.
