- The defect
- Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2016-2020 DH-B Series, DH-E Series, and D3000-E digger derricks set up for combined use and equipped with radio remote upper controls. These units only have the derrick use capacity chart and do not have the combined use capacity chart.
- What it can cause
- The operator may not have access to the rated capacity information while they are operating the equipment in combined use, increasing the risk of an injury.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will notify owners, and will require them to attach a capacity placard to the radio remote using a lanyard if it is missing, free of charge. The recall began on March 16, 2021. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 792.
- 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 213 vehicles this is a small campaign: 60% 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 2016 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 70 times before this, most recently in December 2020 as 20V777000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 29 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V562000 (structure), 25V250000 (structure), 24V362000 (equipment), 24V015000 (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 January 15, 2021 as campaign 21V012000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
