Vehicle report
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.
PUN-3288
Altec has updated maintenance and operator’s manuals for all LR7, LR8, and LRV units to bring better visibility to the inspection of the outrigger/subbase connection. These welds are critical to the longevity of the aerial device.
PUN-3134
In January 2023, Altec made production changes to the LR8 leveling yoke retention assembly. The upgraded system includes a shoulder bolt and lock nut. The shoulder bolt and lock nut can be removed and reused and have a higher shear strength than the original retention method. Altec has developed an upgraded retention kit for the leveling yoke of the affected units in the field.
SIL 3077
Altec has learned that the Samlex inverter default threshold on certain units built from August 2022 to April 2023 may not be able to accommodate the 110 power accessories at the platform. This can result in the operator being unable to use the accessories during normal operation until the inverter charges the battery above the threshold.
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.
