- What the dealer does
- Altec will inspect and relocate the cables and fuse blocks, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 8, 2024. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN-3142.

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 437 vehicles this is a small campaign: 50% 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 2004 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 20 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 24 times before this, most recently in July 2023 as 23V525000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 40 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V150000 (equipment), 25V890000 (electrical system), 25V629000 (equipment), 25V562000 (structure).
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 11, 2024 as campaign 24V015000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
