Owners most frequently report issues related to structural integrity, equipment failures, and electrical system malfunctions. Problems include compromised frame welds, boom and leveling system failures, and electrical breaker defects.
There are 10 recalls affecting various structural and equipment components on these vehicles. The recalls address potential safety risks involving boom attachment failures, frame cracking, outrigger drifting, leveling system issues, and electrical shock protection. Below is a detailed list of these recalls.
Recalls- Turntable bearing fasteners. Recall 15V163000 affects 97 vehicles. Bolts attaching the turntable bearing to the carrier and aerial may fail, risking boom collapse and injury. Dealers will inspect and replace bolts as needed at no charge.
- Frame cracking on Ford F550. Recall 14V287000 involves 42 vehicles from 2006-2014. Cracks may develop in a notch of the vehicle frame, risking failure and loss of control. Terex will repair cracks and reinforce frames for free.
- Outrigger vertical cylinders. Recall 15V512000 covers 386 vehicles. Cylinders may drift under load causing platform falls and injuries. Dealers will install new valves and orifices at no cost to owners.
- Leveling cylinder linkage. Recall 16V040000 includes 73 vehicles. Excessive cylinder movement can damage the leveling system, causing platform tilt and injury risk. Fixes involve installing a stop to prevent overextension.
- Boom tip leveling sprockets welds. Recall 16V177000 affects 2,153 vehicles. Inadequate welds may fail, tilting the platform unexpectedly and risking falls. Owners will receive new sprockets or reinforcement kits.
- Boom tip and master cylinder rod eyes. Recall 16V118000 pertains to 465 devices. Contact with structural components can crack rod eyes, causing platform tilt and fall risk. Dealers will modify devices to prevent contact.
- GFPE breaker defects. Recall 17V320000 involves 58 vehicles. Breakers may not trip during short circuits, exposing users to electrical shock. Dealers will replace them with GFCI breakers that trip at lower currents.
- Electrical system breaker issue duplicate. Also under recall 17V320000 covering the same 58 vehicles, confirming breaker replacement to prevent shock risk.
- Remote engine control software. Recall 17V321000 covers 444 vehicles. Faulty hood-open switch disables remote engine shutdown, increasing injury risk during hydraulic issues. The fix involves reprogramming software to limit engine disable functions appropriately.
Owners facing repeated repairs or unresolved issues related to these safety defects may have protections under state lemon laws. Consulting specialized legal resources can help clarify available rights and remedies.

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.
2014 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.

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.
2014 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.
2014 TEREX AERIAL DEVICES

EQUIPMENT
Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Aerial Devices and General Digger Derricks manufactured March 28, 2014, to March 1, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the fasteners that attach the turntable bearing to the carrier and the aerial or the digger derrick may fail.
Risk: If the attaching bolts fail, the boom may fall, increasing the risk of injury to the operator or those nearby.

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Aerial Devices and Digger Derrick trucks manufactured from June 3, 2013, through November 13, 2014. Due to an issue in assembly, the vertical cylinders and, by extension, the outriggers may drift when loaded.
Risk: Outrigger drifting could result in the platform falling and seriously injuring platform occupants or bystanders.
