The problem
Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain model year 2009-2013 DT80, and model year 2011-2013 D2, D3 and D4 digger derrick models manufactured June 2009 through November 2013. The fasteners that hold the bracket for the feeder tube (the telescopic hydraulic tube that supplies pump flow to the auger) may become loose allowing the feeder tube to fall.
The risk
A falling feeder tube increases the risk of injury to people nearby.
The fix
Altec will notify owners, and Altec service centers will install an upgraded feeder tube bracket and mounting hardware, free of charge. The recall began on February 19, 2014. Owners may contact Altec at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 591.
