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 risk-of-harm product where a loss of handling or brake performance could increase crash risk, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Altec Industries, Inc. is recalling certain 2020 TA Series, 2019 L Series Aerial Device, 2018-2025 Service Body, LS Series, and AT Series trucks. The recall involves a defect in the Power Distribution Module (PDM 10) circuit, which may experience a voltage spike. This spike can damage the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) and disrupt chassis functions, including the PTO switch, rearview mirror, or rearview camera.

A damaged TCCM and disrupted chassis functions can result in a loss of handling and control or brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash. The source text does not report any specific incidents of injury or death associated with this defect.

Altec will install a diode to the ignition hot circuit free of charge to correct the issue. Owner notification letters were mailed on August 8, 2025. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832 for more information. Altec's number for this recall is CSN-3229.
