EQUIPMENT
- The defect
- Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain 2019-2026 General 65, General 80, General 95, C4000, C5000, and C6000 digger utility trucks equipped with pole guides. An insufficient weld on the plate weldment may crack, causing the retaining pin to separate.
- What it can cause
- Without a retaining pin, the pole guide arm may fall, increasing the risk of injury to people around the truck.
- What the dealer does
- Owners will inspect the plate weldment for any cracks or abnormal welds. Dealers or owners will replace the plate weldment as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 2, 2026. Owners may contact Terex's customer service at 1-605-882-4000. Terex's number for this recall is SN737.
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 .

How this campaign compares
At 2,303 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 67% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 7 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Terex vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 40 times before this, most recently in January 2026 as 26V006000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 3 other recalls published here: 26V534000 (equipment), 22V893000 (equipment), 22V888000 (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 March 19, 2026 as campaign 26V167000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
