NHTSA Campaign 13V193000

EQUIPMENT

Issued by Altec Industries Inc. · Reported May 10, 2013 · 56 vehicles affected

What's wrong

Altec is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 AC35/38 cranes equipped with 31-55 foot telescopic jibs built between 2010 and 2011. The jib attachment bracket is not sufficient for loads that can occur when the fully extended jib is lifted off the ground.

Consequence

If the jib fails while the crane is in operation, it could pose a risk of injury to people in close proximity.

Remedy

Altec will notify owners and dealers will install jib bracket reinforcement kits. Dealers will also install a kit to repair any jib bracket that is damaged. The recall began on July 8, 2013. Owners may contact Altec at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's recall campaign number is CSN 576.
