- The defect
- Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2016-2022 E-series & DH-H series Digger Derricks. The relay connectors may have been reattached to the incorrect plug after a stability test was performed. If the connections are not correct, the hydraulic overload protection system will not function.
- What it can cause
- A nonfunctional overload protection system may result in the operator unknowingly overloading the system, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will inspect and reattach the connectors, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 29, 2022. Owners may contact Altec's customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 858.
- 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 477 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 50% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2016 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 86 times before this, most recently in March 2022 as 22V146000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 16 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V541000 (forward collision avoidance), 26V071000 (electrical system), 25V562000 (structure), 23V636000 (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 18, 2022 as campaign 22V349000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
