Altec Industries, Inc. is recalling approximately 45 of its 2025 AP Series vehicles. This recall is being issued because the compression fittings on the brake air lines may not have been tightened correctly during manufacturing. This defect can allow the air lines to detach, causing the vehicle's emergency brakes to engage without warning. Altec will provide owners with specific instructions to inspect the lines and a kit to secure them properly at no cost.
If the emergency brakes activate unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion, the truck may come to a sudden and complete stop. This creates a significant danger to the driver and other motorists, greatly increasing the risk of a rear-end collision or other crash.
Inspection and securing of brake air lines using a provided kit.
Altec recall number CSN-3242; NHTSA Campaign Number 25V509.
