Issue: On certain aerial devices, the fuel lines may not have been secured properly and could become damaged. As a result, fuel could leak. Safety Risk: A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: To reduce the safety risk, Altec recommends that you periodically inspect the fuel lines for leaks until the recall repairs are completed. Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and provide instructions for inspecting for loose fuel lines. A repair kit will be provided to secure the fuel lines, if necessary. If the lines are damaged, they will be repaired.
- Structure#2023389
122 units affected
Issue: On certain aerial devices, a hydraulic hose may have been incorrectly installed between the cylinder port and load-holding valve instead of metal tubing. If the hose gets damaged, the platform or load could move suddenly. Safety Risk: Uncontrolled movement of the platform or load could increase the risk of injury to the operator and people nearby. Corrective Actions: Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and advise you to contact Altec Service to inspect if a hydraulic hose is installed, and replace it with metal tubing as required.
- Structure#2019345
5 units affected
Issue: On certain aerial devices, the bolts for the pedestal and turntable may fail. If multiple bolts fail, the turntable and pedestal could separate from the vehicle. Safety Risk: If the pedestal and turntable separate from the vehicle, there may be a risk of injury. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and advise them to perform a visual inspection of the rotation bearing bolts. If any bolts are marked with the number "6035”, the owner must do a torque check. If any of the bolts break during the torque check, take the unit out of service and replace the bolts. The bolts marked with the number 6035 that pass the torque check will also have to be replaced within 30 days.
- Other#2010406
27 units affected
Certain aerial devices and digger derricks, installed on utility service vehicles (to elevate personnel in order to facilitate working on overhead service lines, for tree trimming, etc.) were manufactured using high strength fasteners that may fail due to stress corrosion cracking. Failure of the fasteners could result in uncontrolled movement or separation of the pedestal from the turntable, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. Correction: Dealers will replace the affected fasteners.
