The defect
Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain 2008-2015 TLM37, TLM37P, TLM39, TLM41, TLM50, TLM55, and TLLM60 aerial devices manufactured June 18, 2008, to September 28, 2015. On the affected devices, both the boom tip leveling cylinder and the master cylinder at the elbow may make contact with the structural components, potentially damaging the boom tip leveling cylinder rod eye and the master cylinder rod eye.
The risk
Repeated contact may result in the rod eyes cracking. This cracking can lead to the failure of the boom tip leveling cylinder rod eye and the platform tilting unexpectedly which could cause the occupants to fall from the aerial platform, increasing their risk of injury.
The remedy
Terex will notify owners, and dealers will modify the aerial devices to prevent the components from making contact. The recall began on April 11, 2016. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-800-982-8975. Terex's number for this recall is SN621.
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.
