EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2005-2021 A65, A70, A75, A72-T, A77-T, and A82-T vehicles. The lower and upper boom raise spools can shift after releasing the joystick or control interlock.
- What it can cause
- Unintended movement of the lower and upper booms increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will install a jumper hose and check valve into the boomtip tank lines and replace the overcenter blocking cartridge with an internally referenced drain path, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 28, 2021. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 823.
- 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.nhtsa.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 1,977 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 66% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2005 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 16 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 73 times before this, most recently in May 2021 as 21V337000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 33 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 June 1, 2021 as campaign 21V409000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
