Terex Recalls 2012 Aerial Devices Due to Electrical Shock Risk

Terex is recalling 2012 T292, TL, and NT Aerial Devices because a faulty inverter may fail to provide ground fault protection, posing an electrocution risk.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. 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 could result in electrocution, which aligns with the rubric criterion for 'significant injury' reports or risks, warranting a Severe classification.

Plain-English summary

Terex South Dakota, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2012 T292, TL, and NT Aerial Devices installed on utility trucks. These specific units are equipped with 110 VAC inverters where the neutral wire is ungrounded. This defect means the Ground Fault Interrupt (GFI) system may not offer protection as intended.

If the GFI fails to function and a tool plugged into the inverter has a short circuit, the operator could receive an electrical shock, potentially resulting in electrocution. The recall campaign number is SN605.

The recall began on April 18, 2013. Dealers will add a jumper wire between the neutral and ground wire free of charge to correct the issue. Owners may contact Terex at 1-605-882-4000 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
