- The defect
- Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2020-2024 Altec LR7 and LR8 aerial devices. The hydraulic cylinder feeder tube routed near the cylinder rest bracket may become damaged and leak oil, which can result in uncontrolled boom movement.
- What it can cause
- Uncontrolled movement of the boom can increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will replace the cylinder rest pad and the feeder tube if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 22, 2024. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN-3142.
- 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 1,128 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 60% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 95 times before this, most recently in October 2023 as 23V702000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 37 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V150000 (equipment), 25V890000 (electrical system), 25V629000 (equipment), 25V581000 (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 May 23, 2024 as campaign 24V362000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
