Plain-English summary

Altec Industries, Inc. is recalling certain 2020-2026 aerial device vehicles, including the AT, AN, TA, L, LR, AM, and AA series. The recall involves a defect where the ground-level emergency stop (E-stop) may not stop the machine's hydraulic functions when the machine is in ePTO mode.

The failure of the E-stop to immediately halt hydraulic functions increases the risk of injury to operators or bystanders. Altec will inspect the units and test the E-stop function. If the wiring is found to be incorrect, it will be updated free of charge.
