Altec certification labels may list an incorrect axle weight rating

Altec is recalling certain 2022-2025 Aerial Device, Forestry Body, Service Body and Digger Derrick vehicles because the Gross Axle Weight Rating on the certification label may be incorrect.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: Rubric level 2 covers minor labelling errors: no part of the vehicle is defective and the fault is an incorrect figure on the certification label, remedied by replacing the label.
