What this recall means for you
Certain Altec crane telescopic jibs from model years 2005 through 2012, built between March 1, 2005 and August 30, 2013, may have a limiting pin that is not inserted in the correct position. If that happens, the telescopic jib can move without being impeded, which increases the risk of injury to the operator or to people nearby.
