What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural defect that could cause component separation and increase the risk of injury, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.
Plain-English summary
Altec Industries, Inc. is recalling certain 2022 DC & DM Series Digger Derrick vehicles. During production, an incorrect bolt may have been used to attach the derrick rotation bearing.
An incorrect bolt in the derrick rotation bearing may cause the adjacent bolts to be overloaded during operation. This could cause separation of the rotation bearing, which increases the risk of an injury.
Altec will inspect the vehicles and, if an incorrect bolt is found, replace the bolts and the affected bearing race free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on March 10, 2023. Owners may contact Altec's customer service at 1-877-462-5832 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
