What's wrong?
The turntable rotation bearing fasteners on 2024-2026 Altec At Series vehicles are Grade 8 cap screws that clamp the rotation bearing in place. That bearing is the joint that lets the upper boom assembly rotate while staying secured to the vehicle structure. The fasteners have to hold their clamping force under load.
On affected vehicles, fasteners from the suspect lot were not hardened to the required specification. A soft fastener can stretch during installation instead of tightening correctly. Altec also found a broken fastener from the same lot. Once a fastener stretches or breaks, the rotation bearing joint no longer has the clamp load Altec designed for that assembly.
Owners or fleet technicians can find broken rotation bearing fasteners during a pre-flight visual inspection or a preventive maintenance torque inspection. The warning sign is visible broken hardware or a fastener that does not hold the required torque.
Who's affected?
The shared part is a Grade 8 cap screw for the rotation bearing, listed under critical fasteners for boom, crane, or ladder equipment.

What's the safety risk?
A rotation bearing fastener that was not heat treated can fail, letting the pedestal and turntable separate and increasing the risk of injury. Broken fasteners are detectable during visual inspection before operation or PM torque inspection. Have the fastener lot number inspected and schedule the recall service once the remedy opens. Repair will be free at any franchised Altec dealer once available.
What should I do?

What happens at the repair
Once the repair opens, Altec will have owners check the lot number on the turntable rotation bearing fasteners.
