- The defect
- Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2021-2025 AA Series, 2024-2025 AM Series, and 2025 AN Series aerial devices. The outrigger pad holder may have been installed too close to the exhaust outlet.
- What it can cause
- The exhaust may overheat the outrigger pad, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will instruct owners to inspect the outrigger pad holder placement. A kit to relocate the outrigger pad holder or exhaust outlet will be provided as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 21, 2025. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN-3252.
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 268 vehicles this is a small campaign: 57% of the 18,982 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 470. It covers model years 2021 to 2025, 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 engine and engine cooling 3 times before this, most recently in March 2021 as 21V133000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V637000 (structure), 26V541000 (forward collision avoidance), 26V310000 (equipment), 26V243000 (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 September 25, 2025 as campaign 25V650000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
