What's wrong?
The GFCI receptacle on the 2016-2022 Altec AT200A and AT30-G is the outlet tied to the unit's generator circuit. It provides power for tools and is meant to shut off power when it senses a ground fault. A separate circuit breaker protects wiring and the outlet from too much current.
On affected Altec units, the generator circuit was rated at 30 amps and connected to a 20-amp GFCI receptacle without a circuit breaker installed to open the circuit during an overload. If connected equipment pulls more current than the outlet or wiring is built to carry, the circuit can stay energized. That overload can overheat the wiring or outlet.
An owner or operator can see visible heat damage at the GFCI outlet before a thermal event. Altec says that damage can be found during a preoperation inspection, and no other warning sign exists.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Altec technician installs a new GFCI outlet with a circuit breaker and new wiring so the outlet has the required overload protection. Parts and labor are covered under recall 22V469. Altec's Warranty Policy also covers documented costs for an owner who already paid to correct this same problem before the recall notice. Bring receipts or repair paperwork to Altec customer service or the service desk when you ask about reimbursement.
