- The defect

- What it can cause
- An engine shutdown increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will rewire the accessory circuit, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 8, 2024. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN-3185.

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 968 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 58% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, 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 electrical system 25 times before this, most recently in January 2024 as 24V015000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 21 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V541000 (forward collision avoidance), 26V409000 (equipment), 26V150000 (equipment), 26V071000 (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 September 12, 2024 as campaign 24V681000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
