What happened

Altec Industries is recalling certain model year 2002-2009 AH75/85/100 and HL125 aerial device vehicles equipped with 16-foot radial outriggers. During assembly, improper torque was applied to the outrigger cylinder piston retention system. This defect could cause the cylinder to loosen from the rod, allowing the outrigger leg to extend beyond the vehicle's chassis when stowed, potentially striking a person or object and causing injury or property damage.

Altec will notify vehicle owners and increase the torque on the piston at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Altec Industries at 1-877-462-5832.
