2013 TEREX AERIAL DEVICES Complaints and Recall Information
The 2013 TEREX AERIAL DEVICES has 0 complaints and 11 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to equipment stability and structural integrity. Several recalls address problems with outriggers, frames, and leveling systems that impact the safe operation of the aerial devices.
Eleven recalls affect various components including outriggers, frames, structural welds, leveling systems, and electrical protections. The recalls focus on preventing equipment drift, frame cracks, cylinder failures, and electrical shock risks.
Recalls- Outrigger cylinder seals. Recall 13V201000 affects 118 vehicles due to incorrectly machined lock valve cavities that may damage outrigger seals. Damaged seals allow outriggers to drift, risking unit overturn and injury. Repairs include inspection and seal replacement at no cost.
- Frame cracks. Recall 14V287000 involves 42 vehicles installed on Ford F550 chassis that may develop frame cracks. Cracks can cause frame failure and loss of control, increasing crash risk. Dealers will repair cracks and reinforce frames free of charge.
- Outrigger drifting. Recall 15V512000 covers 386 vehicles with assembly issues causing vertical cylinders and outriggers to drift under load. Drifted outriggers risk platform falls and serious injury. Dealers will install orifice and replace faulty valves at no cost.
- Aerial pedestal cracks. Recall 16V174000 affects 33 models where missing reinforcements can cause pedestal cracks, risking failure and injury. Reinforcement plates will be installed free of charge.
- Leveling cylinder linkage failure. Recall 16V040000 concerns 73 vehicles where the leveling cylinder linkage can exceed stop limits, damaging and causing leveling system failure. Failure may cause platform tilting and injury risk. Dealers will add a stop to prevent this.
- Boom tip leveling sprocket welds. Recall 16V177000 affects 2153 vehicles with inadequate welds at boom tip leveling sprockets. Weld failure may cause unexpected platform tilting and falls. Owners will receive replacement sprockets or reinforcement kits free of charge.
- Boom tip cylinder rod eye damage. Recall 16V118000 affects 465 vehicles where contact between boom tip cylinders and structure can crack rod eyes, causing platform tilting and fall risk. Modification to prevent contact will be done at no charge.
- Electrical breaker failure. Recall 17V320000 concerns 58 vehicles with breakers that may fail to trip properly during a short circuit, increasing shock hazard. Dealers will replace breakers with GFCI units that trip at lower currents free of charge.
- Hood switch software error. Recall 17V321000 affects 444 vehicles with a hood open sensor that may disable remote engine control, preventing engine shutdown during hydraulic issues. Software reprogramming will be performed free of charge.
Owners dealing with repeated safety repairs or unresolved recall issues may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Consulting with a consumer protection attorney can help clarify options.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.
2013 TEREX AERIAL DEVICES
33 vehicles affected
STRUCTURE
Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain model year 2007-2013 TLM37, TLM40, TLM41, and TLM50 aerial devices manufactured March 29, 2007, to January 31, 2013. The aerial devices have the pedestal attached to the lift turrets that may crack due to missing reinforcements.
Risk: Cracks, if not repaired, may result in the failure of the aerial pedestal, increasing the risk of injury to the operator or those nearby.
2013 TEREX AERIAL DEVICES
465 vehicles affected
EQUIPMENT
Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain 2008-2015 TLM37, TLM37P, TLM39, TLM41, TLM50, TLM55, and TLLM60 aerial devices manufactured June 18, 2008, to September 28, 2015. On the affected devices, both the boom tip leveling cylinder and the master cylinder at the elbow may make contact with the structural components, potentially damaging the boom tip leveling cylinder rod eye and the master cylinder rod eye.
Risk: Repeated contact may result in the rod eyes cracking. This cracking can lead to the failure of the boom tip leveling cylinder rod eye and the platform tilting unexpectedly which could cause the occupants to fall from the aerial platform, increasing their risk of injury.
2013 TEREX AERIAL DEVICES
2153 vehicles affected
STRUCTURE
Terex South Dakota (Terex) is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 HR, HRX, TC, TCX, and SML aerial devices. The affected aerial devices may have inadequate welds at the boom tip leveling sprockets. A failure of these welds may result in the platform tilting unexpectedly.
Risk: If the platform tilts unexpectedly, the user may fall, increasing their risk of injury.
2013 TEREX AERIAL DEVICES
73 vehicles affected
STRUCTURE
Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 SCM48, SCM50, and SCM55 aerial devices manufactured August 24, 2011, to November 5, 2015. The affected vehicles have a leveling cylinder linkage that can be forced past its intended stop position, causing damage to, and failure of, the leveling system.
Risk: If the leveling system fails, the aerial platform may tilt, increasing the risk of injury to the user or those nearby.
