Defect. Terex South Dakota (TSD) is recalling certain 2007-2016 vehicles equipped with Terex C4000, FC, HR, HRX, SCM, TC, TCX, TL, TPL, and XT aerial devices and digger derricks used for utility line work. In the event of a short circuit of a tool plugged into the onboard electrical socket, the GFPE breaker may not trip at the proper current before the user receives a shock.

Risk. Without proper protection against electrical shock, the user has a greater risk of injury.

Remedy. TSD will notify owners, and dealers will replace the breakers with GFCI breakers that will trip at a lower current, free of charge. The recall began on June 27, 2017. Owners may contact TSD Customer Service Department at 1-800-982-8975. TSD's number for this recall is SN658.

Filed May 15, 2017444 vehiclesTerex South Dakota, Inc.

Defect. Terex South Dakota (TSD) is recalling certain 2012-2017 Digger Derricks and Aerial Devices, models C4000, C5000, C6000, C7000, General, HR, OM, RM,RMX, SC, SCM, TC, TCX, TL, TM, and XT, built on Freightliner chassis with SmartPlex engine controls. The vehicles have a switch to monitor whether the hood is open or not. If the switch thinks that the hood is open, the vehicle software may disable the Aerial or Digger Derrick remote engine control functions.

Risk. If the hood switch prevents the remote engine controls from shutting the vehicle engine down in the event of a hydraulic issue on the Aerial or Digger Derrick, it may increase the risk of an injury.

Remedy. TSD will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the vehicles to only disable the engine start function if the switch indicates that the hood is open, free of charge. The recall began on June 28, 2017. Owners may contact TSD Customer Service Department at 1-800-982-8975. TSD's number for this recall is SN659.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
