On certain truck-mounted digger derricks, the drum for the boom tip winch may deform or fracture, cutting the synthetic winch line. This could allow a load carried by the winch to fall, placing anyone near or beneath at risk of personal injury. Correction: Altec will direct vehicles owners to inspect and, if necessary, replace the winch drum.
