Terex Recalls TL80 and TL100 Aerial Devices Due to Bolt Failure Risk

Terex is recalling 2019-2020 TL80 and TL100 aerial devices because rotation bearing bolts may loosen and fail, potentially causing the boom to fall.

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 source text explicitly states that the defect increases the risk of injury or death, and the failure of structural components (rotation bearing bolts) leading to a boom fall constitutes a structural vehicle defect with significant injury potential.
