The short version
Altec Industries, Inc. reported a problem with the mechanical carrier/rack. Here is what owners need to know.
The vertical center of gravity with poles in the pole rack was not calculated properly, resulting in an incorrect pole rack capacity rating.
While using the pole rack at full capacity, an incorrect high vertical center of gravity during braking and cornering may lead to a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Altec will provide owners with a safety alert placard, free of charge.
