EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2020 AN67-E100 articulating non-overcenter aerial device vehicles. The boom valve has a shuttle cartridge installed instead of a plug.
- What it can cause
- The valve not having a plug could result in unintended boom movement, increasing the risk of an injury.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will notify owners and Parker Hannifan Corporation will provide a replacement plug, free of charge. The recall began February 8, 2021. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 789.
- 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 183 vehicles this is a small campaign: 62% 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, 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.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 69 times before this, most recently in December 2020 as 20V765000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 24 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V562000 (structure), 24V362000 (equipment), 24V015000 (electrical system), 23V438000 (electrical system).
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 December 11, 2020 as campaign 20V777000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
