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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 92 vehicles this is a small campaign: 71% 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 model years 2017 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 19 times before this, most recently in September 2019 as 19V662000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 April 21, 2020 as campaign 20V225000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
