STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
- The defect
- Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2011-2025 Aerial Device, Digger Derrick, and 2022-2025 Service Body vehicles. The cable step wire rope assembly may be improperly secured, which can allow the cable entry step to detach from the vehicle.
- What it can cause
- A cable step that fails during use increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will provide owners with instructions to inspect the cable crimps. If the cables are improperly crimped, Altec will provide instructions and a kit to replace the wire rope assemblies. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 24, 2025. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN-3246.
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 903 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 57% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2011 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 14 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the structure 21 times before this, most recently in August 2025 as 25V529000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 59 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V551000 (equipment), 26V541000 (forward collision avoidance), 26V429000 (electrical system), 26V409000 (equipment).
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 29, 2025 as campaign 25V562000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
