What's wrong?
The transmission park interlock on the 2014-2026 Altec At Series is a safety control tied to the truck's Park position. Its job is to keep the Jobsite Energy Management System from powering the aerial device unless the chassis transmission is in Park. That control helps make sure the equipment is set up before the boom is operated.
On affected units, Altec built some JEMS units without the transmission park interlock specified for the work order. Without that signal, the ePTO system, the equipment drive that allows the aerial device to operate, can become active even when the chassis is not in Park. If the chassis is not secured in Park, the unit can move after setup.
The daily preoperational inspection should catch this problem. The warning sign is that the unit does not disengage the ePTO when the transmission is shifted out of Park.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
If the aerial device stays active after the transmission leaves park, the vehicle can move unexpectedly and increase the risk of injury. The daily preoperational inspection should catch an ePTO that does not disengage when shifted from park, so remove the unit from service and call Altec if that check fails. Repair is free at any franchised Altec dealer.
