Altec Industries Digger Derrick and TA Series vehicles recalled for boom stow wiring defect
What this means
Certain 2021–2026 Altec Digger Derrick and 2023–2025 Altec TA Series vehicles have improper wiring in the power distribution module. This wiring defect can prevent the boom stow auto-neutral system from working, which means the truck may be driven with the boom still raised and unsecured.
- Stop operating the vehicle with the boom elevated.
- Contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832 to schedule the free wiring correction.
- Expect an owner notification letter by November 20, 2026.
The agency's original wording
When the vehicle is moved or driven with the boom out of stow, the vehicle could exceed the recorded travel height, increasing the risk of a crash.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 20, 2026. Owners may contact Altec's customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN-3370.
