- The defect
- Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Digger Derrick vehicles. The vertical center of gravity with poles in the pole rack was not calculated properly, resulting in an incorrect pole rack capacity rating.
- What it can cause
- While using the pole rack at full capacity, an incorrect high vertical center of gravity during braking and cornering may lead to a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Altec will provide owners with a safety alert placard, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 21, 2026. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN-3335.
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 6 vehicles this is a small campaign: 94% 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 model years 2023 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Altec vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 109 times before this, most recently in June 2026 as 26V384000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 17 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V541000 (forward collision avoidance), 26V247000 (forward collision avoidance), 26V170000 (exterior lighting), 26V150000 (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 June 26, 2026 as campaign 26V409000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
