Plain-English summary
Altec Industries, Inc. is recalling certain 2021-2026 Altec Digger Derrick and 2023-2025 Altec TA Series Aerial Device vehicles. The recall addresses a defect in the electrical system wiring that may prevent the boom stow auto-neutral feature from engaging. This failure can allow the truck to be driven while the boom is still elevated.
When the vehicle is moved or driven with the boom out of stow, the vehicle could exceed the recorded travel height, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.
Altec will correct the wiring in the power distribution module to enable the boom stow auto-neutral functionality free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on November 20, 2026. Owners may contact Altec's customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN-3370.
