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.
CSR-3352
Altec Industries, Inc. has received notification from FCA US LLC that certain 2025-2026 Ram 3500, 4500, and 5500 cab chassis vehicles with 6.7L engines equipped with Altec equipment may contain an engine emissions-related defect that could affect emissions compliance or motor vehicle safety.
CSR-3308
Altec Industries, Inc. has received notification from Ford Motor Company that a condition relating to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2022-2026 Super Duty vehicles equipped with Altec equipment. It is possible that the trailer module (TRM) may lose communication at vehicle start-up. If a TRM loss of communication occurs and a trailer is connected to the vehicle, the trailer's stop lamps and turn signal indicators will not function. This may result in inoperable trailer brake lights, turn signals, and braking functions, reducing a driver’s ability to control an attached trailer and making it less visible to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
CSR-3290
Altec Industries, Inc. has received notification from FCA US LLC that a condition exists that relates to motor vehicle safety and affects certain 2025 and 2026 model year (DP) Ram 4500/5500 Cab Chassis equipped with an Altec aerial device or equipment. On the potentially affected units the trailer tow module may experience a loss of trailer lighting and trailer brakes. The trailer turn signal will not flash when the vehicle turn signal lever is actuated and the trailer stop lights will not be activated upon application of the vehicle service brakes. In addition, if equipped, the trailer brakes will not function.
CSR-3280
Altec Industries, Inc. has received notification from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles that certain 2025 (DJ) RAM 2500 Pickup, 2025 (D2) RAM 3500 Pickup, 2025 (DD) RAM 3500 Cab Chassis, 2025 (DP) RAM 4500/5500 Cab Chassis vehicles that are equipped with Altec service bodies or AT-series aerial device fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Nos. 126 Electronic stability control systems for light vehicles and 208 Occupant crash protection.
CSR-3250
Altec Industries, Inc. has received notification from General Motors that a condition exists relating to motor vehicle safety, compliance, or emissions in a vehicle you possess that is equipped with Altec equipment. These vehicles may have a brake pressure sensor assembly that may allow brake fluid to leak beyond the diaphragm seal into the brake pressure switch.
CSR-3241
Altec Industries, Inc. has received notification from Ford Motor Company that a condition exists relating to motor vehicle safety in a vehicle equipped with Altec equipment. A fuel pump failure can cause a loss of fuel pressure and flow from the fuel tank. This can cause a lack of fuel delivery to the engine and result in an engine stall while driving, which increases the risk of a crash.
SIL-3224
Altec has learned that the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and gross axle weight rating (GAWR) placard on the door jamb lists the incorrect weights on various units built from December 2021 to February 2025. This could lead to unintentional overloading, which could damage the vehicle.
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.
