What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Terex Environmental Equipment (Terex Environmental) is recalling certain model year 2007-2015 Model 700, 705, 710, 720, 730, 750, 770, and 790 trailer-mounted wood chippers manufactured August 30, 2011, to May 20, 2013. Safety-related decals describing the operation of the wood chippers may not remain adhered to the powder coat paint.

The risk

If the decal with operation instructions detaches, the operator may be at a greater risk of injury.

The remedy

Terex Environmental will notify owners about the issue. Terex Environmental is working with decal vendors to find a replacement decal that can with stand the harsh environment. The recall began on January 15, 2016. Owners may contact Terex Environmental customer service at 1-989-588-4295.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
