Terex Recalls 2013 Hi-Ranger Trucks Due to Platform Cylinder Separation Risk

Terex is recalling 2013 Hi-Ranger trucks because a bearing installation issue may allow the platform to rotate without operator control, increasing injury risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where the platform can rotate without operator control, posing a risk of injury, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Terex South Dakota, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2013 Hi-Ranger HR, HRX, TC, TCX, OM, and TLM trucks manufactured between July 12, 2013, and December 26, 2013. The recall involves 305 vehicles.

The defect is caused by a problem with the bearing installation, which can allow the platform rotate cylinder to separate from the brackets. This separation may enable the platform to rotate without operator control, creating an increased risk of injury.

Terex will notify owners, and dealers will replace the cylinder free of charge. The recall began on February 17, 2015. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-605-882-4000 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
