Altec Industries, Inc. is recalling approximately 180 of its 2021-2024 JEMS S and JEMS SE vehicles because the air conditioning (A/C) hoses may have been installed too close to the engine exhaust manifold. This lack of clearance can cause the hoses to overheat, which significantly increases the risk of a fire. To address this safety concern, Altec will provide a free remedy kit to secure the hoses at a safe distance from the exhaust manifold.
The A/C hoses can overheat due to their proximity to the hot engine exhaust manifold, which can lead to the hoses melting or failing and potentially starting a fire.
