Issue

Issue:
On one aerial device truck, the trailer hitch may have an incorrect load rating. This could lead to overloading of the hitch and result in a failure. If this happens, a trailer could detach from the truck.

Safety Risk:
A trailer hitch failure could allow a trailer to detach from the truck, and create the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions:
Altec will notify the owner by mail and advise them to inspect the bumper and trailer hitch receiver tube for cracks and repair them as necessary. Altec will also supply a replacement load rating placard and instructions for installing it.
