Plain-English summary
Altec Industries Inc. is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 aerial devices and digger derricks utility vehicles manufactured from April 2009 through May 2010.

The high-strength fasteners that connect the boom turntable to the pedestal may fail due to stress corrosion cracking. This failure could cause the boom to fall, which may cause injury to the user or people nearby and damage to personal property.
