- The defect
- Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2019-2022 AT41ME aerial devices. The material handling interlocking valve may lose power when the outriggers are not set, allowing the jib winch to be operated while the outriggers are up.
- What it can cause
- Outriggers that are not set when loads are being lifted by the jib winch may cause the unit to tip, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will install a visual indication system to show when the outriggers are set or not set, and provide a new pre-operational inspection placard, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 16, 2022. Owners may contact Altec's customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 3030.
- 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 71 vehicles this is a small campaign: 74% 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 2022, 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 equipment 88 times before this, most recently in August 2022 as 22V613000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 30 other recalls published here, the newest being: 25V562000 (structure), 25V288000 (fuel system, diesel), 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 October 21, 2022 as campaign 22V794000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
