EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2019 LR7 Series, TDA58 and L42M Aerial Devices. The high strength fasteners used to secure the pedestal to the turntable may fail.
- What it can cause
- If the fasteners break, the pedestal may separate from turntable, increasing the risk of injury or death.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will notify owners and will inspect and replace the fasteners if necessary, free of charge. The recall began April 22, 2020. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this campaign is CSN 750.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 238 vehicles this is a small campaign: 59% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2019, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 61 times before this, most recently in January 2020 as 20V034000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 21V337000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Altec Industries Inc. with NHTSA on February 27, 2020 as campaign 20V115000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
