The recall population was determined from a review of production records. Production Dates : AUG 15, 2015 – AUG 04, 2022 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect : Description of the Defect : The weld between the base boom and the auger stow bracket could crack. FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : If the weld begins to crack and is not detected, the auger bracket could detach from the boom. A detached auger bracket could increase the risk of injury to personnel near the unit. Description of the Cause : NR Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : During an annual inspection, the weld crack should be identified with the covers removed. An operator could detect flexing of the bracket during stow and unstowing of the auger. There is no other warning that the bracket weld is near failure. Involved Components : Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-613 Page 2 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR ยง573 Component Name 1 : DT65 Base Boom Component Description : DT65 Base Boom Component Part Number : 990088386 Component Name 2 : DT85 Base Boom Component Description : DT85 Base Boom Component Part Number : 991050494 Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : Altec Inc. Address : 2106 S Riverside Rd Saint Joseph Missouri 64507-2535 Country : United States Chronology : On July 13, 2022, Altec Service reported weld cracks on the auger stow brackets of customer units. Altec began investigating the crackโs failure mode and determined that the weld stresses were higher than desired. On August 2, 2022, a potential field action was opened to determine the severity, detectability, and potentially affected population. On August 4, 2022, Altec determined that a potential defect was present in a certain field population and determined that a field campaign was required. There have been no additional warranty claims or field reports identified. There have been no accidents, injuries, or deaths related to this issue. Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-613 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR ยง573 Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : The base boom will be inspected for cracks at the vertical plates. If small cracks or no cracks are found, the cracks will be repaired. the upper horizontal auger stow support will be removed from the vertical plates, and a horizontal auger stow support bracket will be welded to the boom. This horizontal bracket will provide additional support to the auger stow and reduce the stress on the vertical plate welds. If the cracks are determined to be unrepairable, the base boom will be replaced. The recall remedy will be completed free of charge when presented for repair. The Altec Warranty Policy covers the recall remedy, including cases requiring reimbursement for the cost of obtaining a pre-notification remedy of the problem associated with this recall. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : The crack occurs in the welds attaching the vertical plates to the base boom. The remedy plate is welded horizontally to the base boom removing the stress concentrations from the vertical plates. Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : The bracket was redesigned to move the stress from the vertical plates to a horizontal plate welded to the base boom. Recall Schedule : Description of Recall Schedule : Altec will issue CSN-3017 to the owners of the affected units. Altec does not have a dealer network and issues letters to owners only. Planned Dealer Notification Date : OCT 07, 2022 – OCT 07, 2022 Planned Owner Notification Date : OCT 07, 2022 – OCT 07, 2022 * NR – Not Reported
