Altec Digger Derrick Recall 26V617: Truck Can Be Driven With Boom Raised, Risking Crash

NHTSA campaign 26V617, reported September 24, 2026, 143 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Certain Altec Digger Derrick and TA Series Aerial Device trucks may have improperly installed wiring that keeps the boom stow auto-neutral feature from engaging. As a result, the vehicle can be moved or driven while the boom is still elevated.

When driven with the boom out of stow, the truck could exceed its recorded travel height, which raises the risk of a crash. Owners should be aware of this risk, especially when moving the vehicle with the boom not fully stowed.

Altec will correct the wiring in the power distribution module to enable the boom stow auto-neutral function, at no cost to owners. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 20, 2026. You can contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832, referencing recall number CSN-3370. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your truck is affected.
