On the affected vehicles, the drag link taper joint at the steering arm may not have been tightened sufficiently and may come loose. This may result in a gradual loosening of the joint, causing a loss of steering control, which increases the risk of a crash. A loose joint may be detected by pre-trip inspections, loose steering, wandering, noises or vibration.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10237798-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10237798-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10237798","components":[{"id":"steering","name":"Steering","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"ALTEC","model":"AERIAL DEVICE","year_from":2018,"year_to":2020,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"ALTEC","model":"DIGGER DERRICK","year_from":2018,"year_to":2020,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]},{"make":"ALTEC","model":"PRESSURE DIGGER","year_from":2020,"year_to":2020,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
