Altec recall: Exterior lighting

What is wrong

Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2023-2024 aerial devices, digger diggers, pressure diggers, service trucks, reel lifters, pressure washers, and articulating crane models built on a Freightliner M2 Plus chassis. Please refer to Altec's recall report for specific vehicle make and model details. The lighting wire harness may be overloaded, preventing the vehicle lighting from illuminating. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

What could happen

Lights that fail to illuminate can reduce the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Dealers will rework the lighting wire harness and update the trailer module as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 8, 2024. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN-3161; CSN-3170.
