Altec recalls 2025–2026 Digger Derrick and Aerial Device vehicles over badly installed front radar
The front radar was installed wrongly, which may stop cruise control and automatic braking from working properly, so the brakes could come on without the driver's input and raise the risk of a crash.
What to do
Owners will be told to inspect the front radar installation, and if it is wrong, take the vehicle to an OEM Chassis dealer to have it remounted and calibrated for free. Call Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832 and use recall number CSN-3309.
