Defect

Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain model year 2013 AT237, and 2013-2014 AT3X-G, AT40-G, and AT248F aerial trucks manufactured August 2013 through April 2014, built on Ford F-450 and F-550 chassis, and equipped with front "Stable Ride" torsion bars. These torsion bars have welds that could fail.

Consequence

If the torsion bar welds fail, the vehicle may become unstable, increasing the risk of injury to the operator using the aerial device.

Remedy

Altec will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front torsion bars and replace any that have deficient welds, free of charge. The recall began in August 2014. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 599.
