EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2020-2021 AT200A, AT235, AT235P Aerial Devices. Bolts of insufficient strength may have been used to connect the pedestal and sub-base, which could cause the bolts to become overloaded.
- What it can cause
- Overloaded bolts can fail, causing the pedestal to separate and increasing the risk of injury or death.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will issue remedy instructions to owners, to inspect the bolts, and replace any grade 5 bolts with grade 8 bolts, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on July 22, 2021. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-800-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 825.
- 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 218 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 2020 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 74 times before this, most recently in June 2021 as 21V409000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 28 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V562000 (structure), 24V362000 (equipment), 24V015000 (electrical system), 23V824000 (structure).
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 18, 2021 as campaign 21V464000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
