Altec Industries, Inc. (Altec) is recalling certain 2017-2020 DT65-H and DT65-E vehicles. The location of the capacity placard plate could cause a pinch point between the boom and the placard plate.
The risk
If the operator's hand is resting on the plate it could be pinched as the boom is raised, increasing the risk of an injury.
