- The defect
- Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2017-2020 DT65-H and DT65-E vehicles. The location of the capacity placard plate could cause a pinch point between the boom and the placard plate.
- What it can cause
- If the operator's hand is resting on the plate it could be pinched as the boom is raised, increasing the risk of an injury.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will notify owners, and owners will receive instructions to relocate the placard plate from the left-hand control pod to the right-hand control pod, free of charge. The recall began on April 16, 2021. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 800.
- 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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 613 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 53% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 71 times before this, most recently in January 2021 as 21V012000. 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 March 1, 2021 as campaign 21V126000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
