Summary: Altec is recalling certain model year 1998-2008 aerial devices vehicles built from January 1998 through may 2008. The glue bond joint in the insulating arm link may fail over time. The connection is also secured by eight bolts, but with the loss of the glue bond, the fasteners could fatigue over time and fail.
Consequence: Failure of the glue bond and fasteners could result in separation of the fiberglass link from the steel inserts. As a result, the platform on which a service technician would stand could fail during use resulting in death or serious injury.
Remedy: Altec will provide instructions on how to inspect the fiberglass insulating link and fasteners. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on December 1, 2010. Owners may contact altec at 1-877-462-5832.

Has your Altec been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Altec dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
