Altec recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Altec is recalling certain model year 1998-2008 aerial devices vehicles built from january 1998 through may 2008. The glue bond joint in the insulating arm link may fail over time. The connection is also secured by eight bolts, but with the loss of the glue bond, the fasteners could fatigue over time and fail.
What could happen
Failure of the glue bond and fasteners could result in separation of the fiberglass link from the steel inserts. As a result, the platform on which a service technician would stand could fail during use resulting in death or serious injury.
The fix
Altec will provide instructions on how to inspect the fiberglass insulating link and fasteners. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on december 1, 2010. Owners may contact altec at 1-877-462-5832.
