On September 13, 2021, Altec was notified by a customer of an AT200A failed mounting frame resulting in an accident with reportedly minor injuries. After being notified, Altec opened an investigation in response to the customer incident. The customer inspected AT200A units in their fleet and on 10/11/21 reported their initial findings of 39 potential mounting frame cracks to Altec. The Altec investigation reviewed the customer feedback, warranty data, and field history to identify mounting frames that could develop cracks similar to the field incident. After reviewing the findings, Altec concluded on 11/12/21 that a CSN should be issued to the population determined through investigation. The September incident is the only reported accident or injury, no deaths have been reported related to this issue. There were no other prior warranty claims or field reports identified.
This is related to the report of CSN 836 (NHTSA 21V736) which involved a different mounting frame.

Curb Side Street Side Front of Vehicle Rear of Vehicle Figure 3 — Mounting Frame Figure 4 — Inspection Areas A and B Locations Street Side Side Plate Curb Side Side Plate Inspection Area A Inspection Area B Rear of Vehicle Front of Vehicle Page 5 of 9 CSN 840 4. Using a flashlight, visually inspect for any cracking in the steel side plates in the cross-hatched areas shown in Figure 6 for the street side and in Figure 7 for the curb side. 5. If cracking is present, determine the extent of the damage as defined below. • No cracking means no visible cracking at all in the plate (refer to Figure 8). • Partial cracking means a visible crack anywhere in the narrow section that extends only part way across the width or part way through the thickness of the plate (refer to Figure 9). Partial cracking may consist of one or more cracks. • Full cracking means a visible crack across the full width of the narrow section extending through the full thickness of the plate and causing the complete separation of the material (refer to Figure 10). Figure 8 — No Cracking Example Figure 9 — Partial Cracking Example Partial Cracking No Cracking Figure 10 — Full Cracking Example Full Cracking Street Side Side Plate Curb Side Side Plate Inspection Area D Inspection Area C Figure 5 — Inspection Areas C and D Locations Rear of Vehicle Front of Vehicle Inspection Area A Inspection Area B Inspection Area D Inspection Area C Figure 6 — Inspection Areas A and B Details Figure 7 — Inspection Areas C and D Details Street Side Side Plate Curb Side Side Plate Page 6 of 9 CSN 840 6. Review the inspection results, and take the appropriate action described below. If use of a reinforcement kit is specified, the Mounting Frame A Reinforcement Kit, part number 991429525, is required. • If there is no cracking in any inspection area, put the unit back into service. Order the reinforcement kit and install it within one year of the inspection, or schedule the installation of the reinforcement kit by Altec within one year of the inspection. • If there is partial cracking, determine the extent of the cracking in each inspection area by measuring the length(s) of the cracking. ○ If the total length of cracking is less than 3/4″ in each inspection area, put the unit back into service. Order the reinforcement kit and install it within 60 days of the inspection, or schedule the installation of the reinforcement kit by Altec within 60 days of the inspection. – Example 1: Inspection found no cracks in Areas A and C, a 1/2″ long crack in Area B, and two cracks in Area D (refer to Figure 11). The total length of cracking in Area D is the sum of the lengths of the two cracks, 3/8″ + 1/4″ = 5/8″. Since the total length of cracking is less than 3/4″ in each inspection area, put the unit back into service, and install the reinforcement kit within 60 days of the inspection. ○ If the total length of cracking in any inspection area is 3/4″ or more, take the unit out of service. Order and install the reinforcement kit, or schedule the installation of the reinforcement kit by Altec. The vehicle can still be driven, but the aerial device cannot be used until the mounting frame is repaired. – Example 2: Inspection found no cracks in Areas A, B, and C, and two cracks in Area D (refer to Figure 12). The total length of cracking in Area D is the sum of the lengths of the two cracks, 7/16″ + 5/16″ = 3/4″. Since the total length of cracking is 3/4″ in this area, the unit must be taken out of service. The vehicle can still be driven, but the aerial device cannot be used until the mounting frame is repaired. • If there is full cracking in any inspection area, take the unit out of service. The vehicle can still be driven, but the aerial device cannot be used until the mounting frame is repaired. Contact Telecom Product Support by calling 1-270-505-1532 or emailing Telecom.Product.Support@altec.com to obtain further instructions on how to repair the mounting frame with full cracking. 3/8″ 1/4″ 7/16″ 5/16″ Crack 1 Crack 2 Crack 1 Crack 2 Figure 11 — Partial Cracking, Example 1 Figure 12 — Partial Cracking, Example 2 Page 7 of 9 CSN 840 Mounting Frame B Inspection Procedure Normal mechanic’s hand tools, a flashlight, a tape measure, and a wire brush are required for this inspection.

If cracking is present, determine the extent of the damage as defined below. • No cracking means no visible cracking at all in the plate (refer to Figure 18). • Partial cracking means a visible crack anywhere in the narrow section that extends only part way across the width or part way through the thickness of the plate (refer to Figure 19). Partial cracking may consist of one or more cracks. • Full cracking means a visible crack across the full width of the narrow section extending through the full thickness of the plate and causing the complete separation of the material (refer to Figure 20). • Terminated cracking means a crack in Area E that extends from the inside corner in the lower edge of the side plate toward the mounting hole or all the way to the mounting hole (refer to Figure 21). If there is cracking extending in any other direction in Area E, include it in the partial cracking assessment for Area C.
