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 the defect can cause 'personal injury or death,' which aligns with the rubric criterion for a score of 4 (Severe) involving significant injury or death reports/potential.
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].
