- The defect
- Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2019-2021 ATTXX-M/P/S aerial devices. Bolts in the rotation bearing outer-race may have been over-tightened, allowing the bolts to break.
- What it can cause
- Broken bolts can cause separation of the pedestal and turntable, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will replace the outer-race rotation bolts, free of charge. Owner notification were mailed on March 25, 2022. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 849.
- 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 454 vehicles this is a small campaign: 50% 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 2019 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the structure 15 times before this, most recently in November 2021 as 21V884000. 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 February 9, 2022 as campaign 22V072000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
