Bulletin Summary
Altec has discovered that the EZ Trac hydraulic all-wheel drive (AWD) system may have been improperly installed on some units. Incorrect steering adjustments can cause the front wheels to oversteer. This can damage the steering stop bolts, causing the tires to rub on chassis components. Incorrect hydraulic hose routing can subject the hoses to damage. This can cause fluid leakage, resulting in the loss of AWD assistance. Altec requires the following actions to be performed on the affected units no later than 30 days after receiving the SIL. - Inspect the EZ Trac system using the Inspection Procedure provided in the notification. - Have Altec make any required repairs.
About Technical Service Bulletins
A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) is a document issued by a vehicle manufacturer to its dealers, describing a known issue with a specific vehicle or set of vehicles and the recommended procedure to fix it. Unlike recalls, TSBs are not mandatory and are typically only performed if an owner reports the related issue. However, TSBs can be an indicator of common problems with a vehicle.
