Defect:

Altec industries, inc. is recalling certain model year 2002-2009 ah75/85/100 and hl125 aerial device vehicles equipped with 16-foot radial outriggers. an improper torque was applied to the outrigger cylinder piston retention system during assembly. as a result, the cylinder could loosen from the rod allowing the outrigger leg to protrude beyond the confines of the chassis when it is in a stowed position.

Consequence:

If the cylinder loosens from the rod, the outrigger could strike a person or object, increasing the risk of injury or property damage.

Correction:

Altec will notify owners, and will increase the torque on the piston free of charge. the safety recall began on november 6, 2012. owners may contact altec industries at 1-877-462-5832.
