Terex Recalls 2008-2010 Utility Vehicles Due to Lanyard Anchor Fracture Risk

Terex is recalling 2008-2010 Digger Derrick and Aerial Device vehicles because improperly heat-treated lanyard anchors may fracture, posing a risk of injury or death.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that failure of the lanyard anchor could increase the risk of personal injuries or death, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural defects leading to severe harm.
