Altec Industries is recalling approximately 45 of its 2022 DC and DM Series Digger Derrick vehicles. During production, an incorrect bolt may have been used to secure the derrick's rotation bearing, which can lead to mechanical failure. Altec will inspect the bearing race and replace the affected bolts and bearing race free of charge to ensure the equipment remains safe for operation.
The incorrect bolt can cause neighboring bolts to become overloaded during use. This may lead to the sudden separation of the rotation bearing from the vehicle, creating a significant risk of falling components and serious injury to operators or bystanders.
