Altec AT200A Recall 24V952: Front Axle Can Fail Under High Loads, Risking Crashes

What this recall means for you

Certain 2017-2024 Ford E350 van chassis equipped with an Altec AT200A device, with a Gross Axle Weight Rating of 4050 or 4200 pounds, may have a front axle defect. Under high loads, the front axle can be overloaded beyond its capacity, which could cause it to fail and make the vehicle unstable.

An axle failure or loss of stability raises the risk of injury to the driver, passengers, and others on the road. Owners of affected vehicles should take this recall seriously and avoid overloading the vehicle until the remedy is completed.

The repair is free. Ford dealers will install upgraded front springs, insulators, and nuts, and Altec will provide a new label showing the upgraded gross axle weight rating. Owners who received a notification letter mailed February 14, 2025, can contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832 (Altec recall number CSN-3206). You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
