STRUCTURE:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2022 DC & DM Series Digger Derrick vehicles. During production, an incorrect bolt may have been used to attach the derrick rotation bearing.
- What it can cause
- An incorrect bolt in the derrick rotation bearing may cause the adjacent bolts to be overloaded during operation, which could cause separation of the rotation bearing, and increase the risk of an injury.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will inspect and if an incorrect bolt is found, replace the bolts affected bearing race, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 10, 2023. Owners may contact Altec's customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 3045.
- 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 45 vehicles this is a small campaign: 79% 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 one model year, 2022, 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 structure 16 times before this, most recently in February 2022 as 22V072000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 10 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 January 12, 2023 as campaign 23V003000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
