EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain 2014-2019 TM bucket/boom trucks. The limit switch was installed upside down and does not stop platform level movement if the platform level exceeds 15 degrees.
- What it can cause
- If the platform level limit switch does not stop the platform from tilting, a platform occupant could fall, increasing the risk of an injury.
- What the dealer does
- Terex will notify owners, and dealers will properly install the limit switch, free of charge. The recall began April 14, 2020. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-605-882-4000. Terex's number for this recall is SN681.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |
|---|---|---|
| TerexTM-Series | 2011 to 2020 | Not published here |
How this campaign compares
At 523 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 51% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2011 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 9 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Terex vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 25 times before this, most recently in September 2019 as 19V659000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Terex South Dakota, Inc. with NHTSA on February 24, 2020 as campaign 20V103000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
