Terex Recalls 2007-2013 Aerial Devices Due to Pedestal Cracking Risk

Terex is recalling 2007-2013 aerial devices because missing reinforcements may cause the pedestal to crack, increasing injury risk.

What this means for you

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 defect that may result in injury to the operator or nearby individuals, but the source text does not report any actual injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Terex South Dakota, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2007-2013 TLM37, TLM40, TLM41, and TLM50 aerial devices manufactured between March 29, 2007, and January 31, 2013. The recall involves 33 units where the pedestal attached to the lift turrets may crack due to missing reinforcements.

If the pedestal cracks and is not repaired, it may fail, which increases the risk of injury to the operator or those nearby. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

The recall began on April 22, 2016. Dealers will install reinforcement plates on the pedestal free of charge. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-800-982-8975 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
