Defect: Altec is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 AC35/38 cranes equipped with 31-55 foot telescopic jibs built between 2010 and 2011. The jib attachment bracket is not sufficient for loads that can occur when the fully extended jib is lifted off the ground.
Consequence: If the jib fails while the crane is in operation, it could pose a risk of injury to people in close proximity.
Remedy: Altec will notify owners and dealers will install jib bracket reinforcement kits. Dealers will also install a kit to repair any jib bracket that is damaged. The recall began on July 8, 2013. Owners may contact Altec at 1-877-462-5832. Altec's recall campaign number is CSN 576.

Notes on this record
Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
