Bulletin Summary
Altec has discovered that the cast aluminum bumper support brackets used by Freightliner on some affected units have cracked in the field. This can cause a lack of proper support for the front bumper and the cab guard on the vehicle. Altec requires the bumper support brackets on the chassis to be inspected no later than the next periodic maintenance interval or 30 days from the receipt of this SIL, whichever comes first. Affected units are certain LR7 aerial devices built on Freightliner M2-106 chassis from April 2016 through November 2019.
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.
