The problem
Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2010-2011 Effer 440 and 470 Knuckle Boom Cranes. The inner race rotation bearing fasteners for the crane turret may fail and the pedestal may crack if the fasteners are not replaced every two years.
The risk
If the rotation bearing fasteners fail or the pedestal cracks, the crane may not be stable, increasing the risk of injury.

Altec will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the pedestal weld for cracks and replace the inner race rotation bearing fasteners, free of charge. The recall began on February 2, 2018. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 674.
