2015 TEREX AERIAL DEVICES Complaints and Recall Information
The 2015 TEREX AERIAL DEVICES has 0 complaints and 8 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to structural and equipment defects based on recall data.
There are eight recalls affecting several systems including structural components, equipment attachments, and electrical systems that impact safety and performance.
Recalls- Turntable bearing fasteners. Recall 15V163000 affects 97 vehicles manufactured from 2014 to 2015. Fasteners attaching the turntable bearing may fail, causing the boom to fall and risking injury. Terex will inspect and replace faulty bolts at no cost.
- Leveling cylinder linkage. Recall 16V040000 involves 73 units from 2011 to 2015. The linkage may move past its stop position, damaging the leveling system and causing the aerial platform to tilt. Dealers will install a stop to prevent excessive movement.
- Boom tip leveling sprocket welds. Recall 16V177000 covers 2,153 aerial devices from 2011 to 2016. Welds may be inadequate, leading to platform tilt and fall risk. Terex will provide reinforcement kits or replacement sprockets as needed.
- Boom tip and master cylinder rod eyes. Recall 16V118000 affects 465 models from 2008 to 2015. Contact between cylinders and structures may crack the rod eyes, causing platform tilt. Modifications will be made to stop this contact.
- Electrical breaker failure. Recall 17V320000 includes 58 vehicles from 2007 to 2016. The GFPE breaker may fail to trip during a short circuit, increasing shock risk. Dealers will replace breakers with GFCI types that trip at lower currents.
- Electrical system defect (duplicate recall). Recall 17V320000 also covers electrical system concerns overlapping with the breaker issue on the same 58 units. The same repair applies with GFCI breaker replacement.
- Remote engine control switch. Recall 17V321000 involves 444 models from 2012 to 2017 with Freightliner chassis. A hood switch may disable remote engine controls unintentionally, risking injury during hydraulic failure. Vehicles will be reprogrammed to fix this.
Owners managing repeated safety defects or unresolved recall issues with these aerial devices may have rights under state lemon laws and should consider consulting legal professionals for guidance.

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.

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.
2015 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.

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.
