Altec Recalls 2025 LR8 Series Vehicles Due to Bolt Failure Risk

Altec is recalling 2025 LR8 Series vehicles because improperly formed lockbolts may fail, potentially causing the elevator sub-base to separate from the truck frame.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (lockbolt failure leading to sub-base separation) that increases the risk of injury, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects or significant injury reports.
