2016 Altec AH150 recalls
Recall 20V-708: Suspension
Problem: Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2006-2020 AH150 and AH125S Articulating Non-Overcenter Aerial Devices. The incorrect counterbalance valve may have been installed in the main lift cylinder. As a result, at certain boom positions the counterbalance valve will open due to the pressure in the cylinder exceeding the setting.
Risk: If one of the hoses between the cylinder and the external counterbalance valve manifold were to fail to hold pressure, the boom could unexpectedly lower, increasing the risk of an injury.
Fix: Altec will notify owners, and dealers will install the correct counterbalance valve if necessary, free of charge. The recall began January 11, 2021. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 784.

Problem: Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2015-2016 AH125, AH150, and HL125 aerial device vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the rotation bearing fasteners may fail.
Risk: If the fasteners that attach the aerial device to the truck fail, the boom may unintentionally move, increasing the risk of personal injury or death to the aerial device user or those nearby.
Fix: Altec has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and if necessary replace the fasteners, free if charge. The recall began on February 24, 2017. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is MAB 651.
