Terex South Dakota, Inc.: Equipment
Terex South Dakota, Inc. reported this defect to federal regulators on Sep 17, 2019 and put the number of vehicles at risk at 42. The repair is free for as long as the recall stands.
The defect
Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain TLM aerial-device vehicles equipped with external holding valve blocks. The incorrect holding valve was installed on the upper boom cylinder base end. As a result, if the hose for the upper boom raise function should burst while at maximum load and maximum side reach, the boom may drift down.
The risk
Uncontrolled movement of the boom can increase the risk of an injury.
The remedy
Terex will notify owners, and dealers will replace the base end holding valve on the upper boom lift cylinder, free of charge. The recall began October 25, 2019. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-844-837-3948. Terex's number for this recall is SN675.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 19V659000.
