EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:CARRIER/RACK
While using the pole rack at full capacity, an incorrect high vertical center of gravity during braking and cornering may lead to a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
While using the pole rack at full capacity, an incorrect high vertical center of gravity during braking and cornering may lead to a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
An incorrect pressure rating may lead to underinflated tires, increasing the risk of a tire blowout or a crash.
An engine that starts unexpectedly increases the risk of injury to anyone near the engine compartment during maintenance operations.
Wiring without adequate protection may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.
A cable step that fails during use increases the risk of injury.
An engine shutdown increases the risk of a crash.
Two 2023 ALTEC DIGGER DERRICKs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
