The problem
Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2016-2021 LS87 aerial devices. The outer-race rotation bearing bolt washers may interfere with an adjacent pedestal weld, which could cause the rotation bearing bolts to break.
The risk
Broken bolts can cause the pedestal to separate from the turntable, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Altec will inspect the outer rotation bolt washers and repair the pedestal as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 15, 2021. Owners may contact Altec's customer service at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's number for this recall is CSN 833.
