STRUCTURE:BODY
- The defect
- Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2016-2022 DM, DH, DC, DL, D2000, D3000, and D4000 series digger derricks, and AM55 aerial devices. The base of the rear pole rack may be missing a weld.
- What it can cause
- A missing weld on the rear pole rack can lead to a crack that could cause the pole and rack to drop in height, increasing the risk of an injury.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will inspect the rear pole rack mounting plate, and if necessary, replace any required welds, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 26, 2023. Owners may contact Altec's customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 3064.
- 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 1,967 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 66% 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 7 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the structure 17 times before this, most recently in January 2023 as 23V003000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 44 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V541000 (forward collision avoidance), 26V071000 (electrical system), 25V562000 (structure), 25V288000 (fuel system, diesel).
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 March 30, 2023 as campaign 23V216000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
