Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Terex Telelect, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2000 and 2001 HR37M and HR40M utility trucks manufactured between November 2000 and December 2001. The recall involves 109 vehicles where the aerial devices may contain a lower boom lift cylinder with defective components.

Terex will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the cylinder rod ends for cracks and test the cylinder material for hardness. The safety recall began on August 30, 2011. Owners may contact Terex Utilities Warranty Department by calling 1-605-884-3892 or emailing [email protected].
