NHTSA #20V708000 · Suspension — Adjustment — Automatic Electrical/Hydraulic · NHTSA notice

Reported November 17, 2020 · Altec Industries Inc.

Potentially affected: 13 vehicles

Repair completion: 76.92% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated October 21, 2026)

Altec campaign CSN 784 · Owners notified January 11, 2021

Defect description

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.

Safety consequence

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.

Manufacturer remedy

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.
