The defect
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2016-2020 DH-B Series, DH-E Series, and D3000-E digger derricks set up for combined use and equipped with radio remote upper controls. These units only have the derrick use capacity chart and do not have the combined use capacity chart.
The risk
The operator may not have access to the rated capacity information while they are operating the equipment in combined use, increasing the risk of an injury.

Altec will notify owners, and will require them to attach a capacity placard to the radio remote using a lanyard if it is missing, free of charge. The recall began on March 16, 2021. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 792.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 21V012000.
