Service bulletins

1 bulletin

Technical service bulletins are instructions a manufacturer sent its dealers about a known fault. They are not recalls and the work is usually not free, but they are the clearest signal of a problem the manufacturer already knows about.

SIL 785

Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions

Altec has discovered that affected units may not have a PTO request wire properly connected to the transmission control module. Without this wire installed, the chassis may not produce the hydraulic pressure required for proper PTO clutch pack engagement. Altec requires the unit to be inspected for the PTO request wire no later than the next periodic maintenance interval or 90 days from the receipt of the SIL, whichever comes first. If the inspection procedure in the SIL confirms that the PTO request wire is missing, order the PTO Request Wire Kit and install the kit no later than 6 months from the receipt of this SIL.

Reading this report

Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
