What's wrong?
The turntable on a 2008-2009 Altec Llc Lift-All Lss aerial device is the rotating base that lets the aerial structure swing into position. It sits between the vehicle-mounted base and the lift structure, carrying the load while the device turns. The lift depends on that turntable staying solid and aligned.
On affected devices, cracks can develop in the turntable. A crack in that base structure changes how the load is carried through the lift and weakens the part that supports rotation. The recall does not identify a supplier part or a separate design change, so the concern is the turntable itself.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner or crew member should not rely on noise, movement, or a visible symptom to decide whether this recall applies.
Who's affected?
The scope is limited to the Lift-All Lss across 2 model years, with the same equipment category listed for each year.
| 2008 Altec Llc Lift-All Lss | Equipment |
|---|---|
| 2009 Altec Llc Lift-All Lss | Equipment |
| Units affected | 50 |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
Cracks in the turntable can cause the aerial device to fail and increase the risk of personal injury to the worker or people nearby. Keep the unit out of service if cracks are found during inspection, then arrange the stiffener repair kit. Repair will be free at any franchised Altec Llc dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2008-2009 Altec Llc Lift-All Lss is included in this recall.
- Watch for an Altec Llc owner notice if your VIN is included.
- Call Altec Llc at 1-800-860-0183 and reference recall number 13V276 when you call.
- Ask about the free turntable inspection and stiffener repair kit that addresses cracking in the aerial-device turntable.

What happens at the repair
Altec Llc's remedy instructions say owners were notified to inspect the turntable and install a stiffener repair kit on the turntable. Because the current remedy status is not listed as available, do not treat this page as confirmation that a dealer appointment can be scheduled now. Once the repair is open for your VIN, an Altec Llc technician installs the stiffener kit at no charge. Ask the service desk to confirm the turntable inspection and kit installation before the vehicle is released.
