- The defect
- Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2025 AP Series vehicles. The brake air line compression fitting may not be tightened correctly, which can allow the supply line or other air lines to detach and cause the chassis emergency brakes to engage.
- What it can cause
- Unexpected activation of the emergency brakes may cause the vehicle to stop suddenly, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will provide owners with instructions to inspect the brake air lines. If the lines are improperly secured, Altec will provide instructions and a kit to secure the lines. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 3, 2025. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN-3242.
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 45 vehicles this is a small campaign: 79% 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 one model year, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, air 4 times before this, most recently in June 2019 as 19V483000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 26V457000 (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 August 8, 2025 as campaign 25V509000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
