2010 ALTEC AH75 Complaints and Recall Information
The 2010 ALTEC AH75 has 0 complaints and 6 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to the platform leveling system, electrical system, pedestal cracks, and unexpected equipment movement due to various defects addressed in recalls.
There are six recalls addressing problems in components such as equipment, electrical systems, and hydraulic controls. The recalls cover defects affecting platform safety, electrical shock risks, structural integrity, and inadvertent equipment movements.
Recalls- Platform leveling system. Recall 11V498000 affects 22 units and involves failure of the platform leveling system that can cause unintended platform movement, increasing risk of death or serious injury. Altec will modify the leveling system free of charge.
- Electrical system leakage. Recall 13V378000 includes 263 devices where the current leakage monitoring cable may breach its insulation gap, allowing the boom to conduct electrical current which raises the risk of shock. Dealers will inspect and secure the cable.
- Pedestal cracks. Recall 13V275000 covers 220 aerial devices with square pedestals that may develop cracks between the pedestal and subbase, risking device failure and personal injury. Altec will inspect and repair cracks at no cost.
- Fiberglass boom insert failure. Recall 14V308000 affects 120 devices with risk of water intrusion causing electricity conduction through the boom and potential joint failure between fiberglass insert and steel components, risking electrocution and boom collapse. Dealers will conduct testing and replace the lower boom.
- Control module moisture intrusion. Recall 14V001000 spans 168 units where moisture entering the control module plug can cause unintended boom or platform movement, increasing injury risk. The wiring harness will be replaced free of charge.
- Hydraulic pressure control valve. Recall 16V023000 involves 195 devices with valves that may allow unexpected aerial device movement, raising operator injury risk. Dealers will replace the valves at no charge.
Owners dealing with recurring repairs or unresolved issues related to these recalls may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting an attorney familiar with lemon law claims could provide guidance on potential legal options.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Altec Industries (Altec) is recalling certain model year 2010-2015 AH75, AH85, and AH100 Aerial Devices manufactured January 10, 2008, to December 31, 2015. The affected units have a hydraulic pressure control valve that may allow the aerial device to move even when not told to do so.
Risk: An aerial device that moves unexpectedly increases the risk of injury to the operator.

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain model year 2010-2013 AH75, AH85, and AH100 vehicles manufactured from April 1, 2010, through November 20, 2013. Moisture may get into the control module plug and result in inadvertant movement of the boom or platform.
Risk: The unexpected movement increases the risk of injury to the operator or those nearby.

EQUIPMENT
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 AH75, AH85, and AH100 Aerial Devices manufactured October 2009 through December 2012. The affected devices may allow electricity to be conducted through the boom due to water entering into the fiberglass layers. Additionally, the joint connecting the fiberglass insert and the steel boom components may fail.
Risk: A fiberglass lower boom insert that can conduct electricity increases the risk of electrocution to the operator should the boom contact a power line. If the joint between the fiberglass insert and the steel boom component fails, the boom may fall, putting the operator at an increased risk of injury.

EQUIPMENT
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain model year 2002-2010 AH75, AH85 and AH100 aerial devices equipped with square pedestals. In the affected vehicles, the aerial device may develop cracks between the pedestal and the unit subbase.
Risk: Cracks in the pedestal may cause the aerial device to fail, increasing the risk of personal injury.

263 vehicles affected
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Altec is recalling certain model year 2005-2013 AH75/85/100 aerial devices manufactured April 2005 through April 2013; and equipped with current leakage monitoring systems. The cable for the current leakage monitoring system may be too long and may breach the gap provided by the lower boom fiberglass insert chassis insulating system.
Risk: If the gap is breached, then the boom may conduct electrical current, increasing the risk of electrical shock to the operator.
