168 vehicles affected

14V001000

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.

120 vehicles affected

14V308000

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.

13V378000

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.

245 vehicles affected

12V456000

EQUIPMENT

Altec Industries, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2002-2009 AH75/85/100 and HL125 aerial device vehicles equipped with 16-foot radial outriggers. An improper torque was applied to the outrigger cylinder piston retention system during assembly. As a result, the cylinder could loosen from the rod allowing the outrigger leg to protrude beyond the confines of the chassis when it is in a stowed position.

Risk: If the cylinder loosens from the rod, the outrigger could strike a person or object, increasing the risk of injury or property damage.

2009 ALTEC AH85

27 vehicles affected

12V411000

EQUIPMENT

Altec Industries, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 Aerial Device vehicles due to improper welding processes used to manufacture the boom pivot pins. Failure of the pin could cause separation of the boom from the turntable.
