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

Plain-English summary

Terex Environmental Equipment is recalling certain model year 2007-2015 trailer-mounted wood chippers, including Models 700, 705, 710, 720, 730, 750, 770, and 790. The units were manufactured between August 30, 2011, and May 20, 2013. The recall involves 141 affected units.

The defect involves safety-related decals that describe the operation of the wood chippers. These decals may not remain adhered to the powder coat paint. If the decal with operation instructions detaches, the operator may be at a greater risk of injury.

Terex Environmental will notify owners about the issue. The company is working with decal vendors to find a replacement decal that can withstand the harsh environment. The recall began on January 15, 2016. Owners may contact Terex Environmental customer service at 1-989-588-4295 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
