Terex Recalls TL80 Aerial Devices Due to Incorrect Slope Indicators

Terex is recalling 2019-2020 TL80 and TL80/112 aerial devices because incorrect slope indicators may allow unsafe operation, risking tip-overs.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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 risk-of-harm product (aerial device tip-over) where injury has not yet been reported, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Terex South Dakota, Inc. is recalling certain 2019-2020 TL80 and TL80/112 aerial devices. The recall involves 43 units where the installed slope indicator and decals incorrectly state that the chassis can be 5 degrees out of level for aerial device use.

If the aerial device is used with the chassis out of level, it may result in an unstable condition which may cause the unit to tip, increasing the risk of injury to the operator and any bystanders.

Terex will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect slope indicator and decals, free of charge. The recall began May 12, 2020. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-605-882-4000 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
