Defect. Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 1999-2022 L Series and LR Series aerial devices. A hydraulic hose may have been installed between the cylinder port and load-holding valve instead of metallic tubing, which can result in a damaged hydraulic hose and failure of the load-holding feature.

Risk. Failure of the load-holding feature can result in unintended movement of the platform or load, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy. Altec will inspect the units for a hydraulic hose and replace it with specified metallic tubing, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 11, 2023. Owners may contact Altec customer service 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 3090.

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.
