The defect
Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Terex Digger Derrick vehicles. The guide bar that attaches the pole guide arms to the pole guide tilt bracket may have insufficient welds, possibly resulting in the guide arm falling while in use.
The risk
If the pole guide arm falls, it may strike any nearby personnel, increasing the risk of injury.
The remedy
Terex will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected guide bars, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 14, 2018. Owners may contact Terex at 1-605-882-4000. Terex's recall number for this recall is SN669.
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.
