Service bulletin SIL 731
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
The existing tool coupler bracket on the affected units is metal and not isolated from boom tip components. Altec has updated the design standard for boom tip covers and insulating components changing the bracket design. Altec recommends updating the affected units by installing a new tool coupler bracket on any unit having a metal tool bracket. Each affected unit should be inspected to see if the tool coupler bracket is metal or plastic. The original tool coupler bracket is a formed steel plate that can be seen next to the tool couplers. Look for a metal mounting surface (refer to Figure 1). If the bracket is metal, order the Tool Bracket Update Kit, part number 990860410, by calling 1-877-GO ALTEC (1-877-462-5832). The bracket should be installed no later than the next scheduled service interval.
