The defect
Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain 2009-2016 TCX60/85 and SML65/90 aerial devices. The rod eyes on the 25ft lift cylinders may fail prematurely.
The risk
If the rod eye fails the lift boom will drift down. The remaining cylinder may not support the boom fully and will slowly leak down. These scenarios increase the risk of an injury.
The remedy
Terex will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rod eyes and shims, free of charge. The recall began April 9, 2020. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-605-882-4000. Terex's number for this recall is SN684.

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 20V168000.
