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.

Service Bulletin/Repair Instructions

Altec is committed to providing our customers with reliable products from initial delivery throughout the useful life of the machine. WIKA Mobile Control, formerly Hirschmann, has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain AC45 H/E cranes equipped with an articulating jib. During code review, it was discovered that the AC45 machines had hoists that were incorrectly indexed. Operating under these configurations can cause the crane to exceed its intended limits, leading to equipment damage and increasing the risk of injury or property loss.

SIL-3176

Service Campaign

Altec has learned that the main control valve harness connectors can become brittle on the affected units. This can result in the harnesses cracking or breaking, allowing water into the harness and causing loss of function.

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.
