ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS
- The defect
- Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Aerial Device and Digger Derrick vehicles. The electronic taillight module harness may have inadequate circuit protection.
- What it can cause
- Wiring without adequate protection may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will provide instructions on inspecting and updating the circuit as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 13, 2026. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832.
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.
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|
| Altec Aerial Device | 2023 to 2025 | Not published here |
| Altec Digger Derrick | 2023 to 2025 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 152 vehicles this is a small campaign: 64% of the 19,215 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 2023 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 31 times before this, most recently in November 2025 as 25V810000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 26 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V665000 (structure), 26V637000 (structure), 26V617000 (electrical system), 26V541000 (forward collision avoidance).
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 December 18, 2025 as campaign 25V890000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
