Altec Industries, Inc. is recalling approximately 40 of its 2025-2026 AM Series Aerial Device vehicles because the emergency stop switch located at the turntable may not work when the upper controls interlock is active. If the switch fails to operate, the upper and lower controls will remain powered even after the emergency stop is pressed. Owners can receive a free repair kit from Altec to ensure the safety switch functions correctly.
An inoperative emergency stop switch prevents the operator from immediately shutting down the equipment in an emergency, which increases the risk of serious injury or death to operators and bystanders.
