EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2014-2021 TDA-58 aerial devices. The chains used to tie down the TDA-58 for transport may break.
- What it can cause
- A broken tie-down chain may allow the TDA-58 to shift during transport, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Altetc will install new tie-down points, D-rings, and provide revised loading instructions, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 7, 2021. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 821.
- 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 314 vehicles this is a small campaign: 54% 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 2014 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 7 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 72 times before this, most recently in March 2021 as 21V126000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 20V115000 (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.
Filed by Altec Industries, Inc. with NHTSA on May 12, 2021 as campaign 21V337000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
