The problem
Altec Industries Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2017 Altec TA48S aerial devices. The travel height of these vehicles may be greater than the indicated height on the decal that is located on the chassis dashboard.

The recall began on July 18, 2018. Owners may contact Altec customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 682.
