Terex Recalls 2001-2003 Aerial Devices Due to Weak Boom Material

Terex is recalling 2001-2003 XT52, XT55, and XT60 aerial devices because lower booms may be made of insufficiently strong material, posing a risk of cracking and injury.

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 recall involves a structural vehicle defect (insufficient strength in lower booms) that may crack and fail, increasing the risk of injury, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury reports.

The affected vehicles have aerial devices that may have been built with lower booms made of material of insufficient strength.
