The defect

Terex South Dakota, Inc. (TSD) is recalling certain model year 2016 HR, HRX, LT, LTM, TL, TC, and TCX aerial devices manufactured January 1, 2016, to May 12, 2016. These aerial devices have a hydraulic motor whose shaft may fail resulting in unexpected boom rotation or winch movement.

TSD will notify owners, and instruct owners to inspect the hydraulic motor. Motors within a certain serial number range will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on August 3, 2016. Owners may contact TSD customer service at 1-800-982-8975. TSD's number for this recall is SN641.

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.
