- The defect
- Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain 2021 TL48 trucks. The subframe which the aerial device bolts to may not be welded properly, which could result in weld failure, allowing the aerial device to fall.
- What it can cause
- An aerial device that falls increases the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the subframe for cracks and remove and reweld the joint, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 29, 2023. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-605-882-4000. Terex's number for this recall is SN719.
- 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.nhtsa.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 |

How this campaign compares
At 8 vehicles this is a small campaign: 93% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Terex vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 34 times before this, most recently in December 2022 as 22V893000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 22V674000 (equipment).
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 June 2, 2023 as campaign 23V396000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
