Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
Loose bolts may allow the retaining plate or platform to detach, becoming a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash. The platform may also detach from the boom tip while elevated with occupants aboard, increasing the risk of injury or death.
Two 2024 ALTEC A-CLASSs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
