Chronology :
On or around November 29, 2021, a routine review of warranty information identified a Service Request opened on October 3, 2021, to repair a customer’s unit with rotation controls not functioning correctly. A linear potentiometer was identified as the cause of the improper operation. The unit was repaired and returned to service. Two other Service Requests that were opened on November 8, 2021, required the linear potentiometer be replaced to repair an improperly functioning control handle.
On December 9, 2021, after the three SRs identified a defective potentiometer as a cause for unintended boom movement, Altec began investigating all service and warranty records relating to the involved linear potentiometer. This results of the investigation was provided to the supplier. The supplier’s investigation found that a specific Lot of potentiometers could potentially be defective. On January 28, 2022, after reviewing the Altec’s and the supplier’s investigative results, Altec determined that a defect could exist on AH125 units. There have been no accidents, injuries or deaths related to this issue.
