FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
- The defect
- Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2020-2023 D4000B, D2000B, and AC18 trucks. The collision mitigation system software may not be calibrated correctly, prohibiting the active braking system from activating.
- What it can cause
- An active braking system that fails to activate as intended increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Owners will be notified to take their vehicles to their respective OEM service center for a software update and road-test, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 28, 2023. Owners may contact Altec's customer service at 1-877-468-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 3085.

- 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 .

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.
