Terex is recalling 2022 Optima TC, XT Pro, and C4000 vehicles because incorrect machining may cause outrigger cylinders to drift, increasing the risk of the machine tipping.

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 (machined cylinder causing drift) that may result in the machine tipping, which fits the rubric criteria for a Severe (4) rating.
