  1. Check valve (service brakes)

    NHTSA 05V264000 Reported 38 vehicles potentially affected ALTEC INDUSTRIES INC.

    On certain aerial devices mounted on GMC c7500 truck chassis and equipped with an altec electric-air/manual trailer brake control, the two-way check valve could be installed in either the front or rear brake system in such a manner that stops air flow to that particular part of the chassis brake system.

    Remedy: These vehicles were only provided to the public service electric and gas company in edison, new jersey. All vehicles have been repaired.

Checking a specific 2004 Altec L Series

How do I know if my 2004 Altec L Series has an open recall?

Enter your 17-character VIN above. The VIN is on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver's door jamb sticker, and your registration or insurance card. The check runs against NHTSA's live database and tells you which campaigns list your vehicle. 1 campaign currently lists the 2004 Altec L Series; your car may already have been repaired under it.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Under federal law, manufacturers must fix safety recalls at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date of sale to the first owner. Contact any authorised Altec dealer with your VIN and the NHTSA campaign number (for example 05V264000).

What is the difference between a recall and a complaint?

A recall is a safety campaign filed by the manufacturer or ordered by NHTSA, with a defined defect and remedy. A complaint is a report an owner sent to NHTSA; it is not verified, but patterns of complaints are what trigger NHTSA investigations and, eventually, recalls.
