Terex TLM Aerial Vehicles Recalled for Boom Valve Defect

Terex is recalling 2016-2017 TLM aerial devices because an incorrect holding valve may cause the boom to drift down if a hose bursts.

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 vehicle defect where uncontrolled movement of the boom can increase the 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 2016 and 2017 TLM aerial-device vehicles equipped with external holding valve blocks. The recall involves 42 units where an incorrect holding valve was installed on the upper boom cylinder base end.

If the hose for the upper boom raise function bursts while the vehicle is at maximum load and maximum side reach, the boom may drift down. This uncontrolled movement can increase the risk of injury.

The recall began on October 25, 2019. Dealers will replace the base end holding valve on the upper boom lift cylinder free of charge. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-844-837-3948 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
