Bulletin Summary
Some customers have reported the loss of functionality of the Altec unit or the EZ Trac system on certain 2016-2021 Ford F750 chassis with EZ Trac hydraulic all-wheel drive installed. The investigation has shown that improper wiring could have been installed for the PTO request module that interfaces the EZ Trac system with the Ford system, leading to the loss of functionality. Altec requires the vehicle to be inspected no later than the next preventive maintenance interval or 90 days from the receipt of this SIL, whichever comes first. If the inspection reveals nonconforming operation, the vehicle must be repaired by both an Altec technician and a Terra Drive Systems technician working together. This inspection and repair are covered under the Altec Warranty Policy. The inspection can be performed by Altec, the customer, or the customerâs warranty provider
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.
