Ford F-550 Frame Rail Inspection and Frame Rail Support Bracket

Units Affected: Certain 2020 through 2021 model year F-550 vehicles equipped with a Payload Plus Upgrade Package and a 19,500 lbs. GVWR. Verify your unit is affected by reviewing the attached list or accessing Altec Connect.

Background: The affected vehicles were ordered from Ford with a frame rail specification that does not meet the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specification for aerial device installation. Ford has required that vehicles not meeting this specification have support brackets installed. Failure to install the support brackets can lead to damage to the unit.

Customer Action: The unit must be taken to a Ford dealership to inspect the frame rails (refer to Ford Customer Satisfaction Program 21B04). The frame rail support bracket kit, part number 991504848, can be installed by Ford, Altec, the customer, or the customer’s warranty provider. Every unit requires the installation of the bracket kit for completion. Brackets must be installed no later than one year from the date of this notice.

Requirements: Every unit requires the installation of the bracket kit for completion. The inspection performed by Ford is estimated to take 0.2 hours to complete. The frame rail support bracket installation is estimated to take 2.3 hours and one person to complete. Bracket installation does not require the aerial device to be dismounted.

Completion and Warranty: The inspection and repair are covered under the Altec Warranty Policy. The inspection must be completed by an authorized Ford dealership according to Ford 21B04. The installation of the bracket kit can be completed by Ford, Altec, the customer, or the customer’s warranty provider only after the inspection is completed at an authorized Ford dealership. A copy of the Ford dealership inspection invoice and the campaign completion card must be submitted to Altec. Altec will perform the repair for free at an Altec facility. If the customer or the customer’s warranty provider performs the repair, a warranty claim must be submitted to be reimbursed for the cost of the parts and/or labor. Altec will allow up to $207 for the labor to perform the repair. Customers are responsible for the travel costs of an Altec Mobile Service technician if the technician performs the repair at the owner’s location.
