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
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. 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.
