Altec Industries, Inc. is recalling approximately 14 units of its 2025 LR8 Series vehicles. During the assembly process, certain bolts (lockbolts) used to secure the shear plates may have been improperly formed, which can lead to the bolts breaking. Altec will inspect the lockbolts on affected vehicles and replace them as necessary, free of charge. Owners should expect to receive formal notification letters in late January 2026.
If the shear plate lockbolts fail, the elevator sub-base can separate from the truck frame. This structural failure significantly increases the risk of injury to the vehicle operator or others nearby.
