What is wrong
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 1995-1996 AM and AN aerial devices. Please see the recall report for a complete list of models. The hydraulic cylinder head gland may have been improperly manufactured, which can result in it detaching from the barrel of the cylinder while under load, leaving the lower boom unsupported.
What can happen
A loss of lower boom support during operation could cause the lower boom to fall, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
Owners should inspect the cylinder and confirm that the cylinder matches the part number and serial number list. If the unit has an affected cylinder, the owner should remove the unit from service or replace the cylinder. If an owner chooses to keep a recalled unit in service, Altec will offer a kit the owner can purchase, and install at their own expense. Owner notification letters were mailed May 6, 2025.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
