EQUIPMENT

- What it can cause
- An aerial lift platform collapse can increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Equipment Technology will notify owners and will replace the boom tubes on all affected aerial lift trucks at ETI's facility, free of charge. The recall began September 9, 2020. Owners may contact ETI customer service at 1-405-748-3841.
- 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 .

It covers one model year, 2020, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 21V340000 (structure), 21V338000 (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.
