Defect. Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 DC610 and DSC6 Brush Chippers manufactured June 1, 2011, to April 1, 2015. The affected brush chippers may have improper or missing welds. Additionally, the DSC6 chippers may be equipped with incorrect anvil spacers.

Risk. Improper or missing welds and/or incorrect anvil spacers may cause the anvil to detach and interfere with the cutting blades, significantly damaging the chipper and increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy. Altec will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and repair any of the missing or incorrect anvil welds, and will replace the improper anvil spacers, free of charge. The recall began on January 19, 2016. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-800-860-0183. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 626.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
