Canada2023–2026 Altec digger derricks and aerial devices are affected; they can be recognized by a final-stage manufacturer's compliance label that lists incorrect low tire pressure information. The incorrect label could lead owners to underinflate the tires, which could cause poor handling or tire failure and result in loss of control and a crash. Altec Industries will notify owners by mail and advise contacting Altec Service to inspect and, if necessary, replace the label.
