2014 TEREX DIGGER DERRICK Complaints and Recall Information
The 2014 TEREX DIGGER DERRICK has 0 complaints and 5 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to equipment fasteners, structural components such as outriggers, and electrical system malfunctions covered by recalls.
There are five recalls affecting various systems within the equipment, including structural components, electrical systems, and equipment fasteners. These recalls address safety risks related to component failures that could result in injury or equipment malfunction.
Recalls- Turntable fasteners. Recall 15V163000 affects 97 vehicles due to failure of fasteners attaching the turntable bearing to the carrier and aerial or digger derrick. Failure of these bolts may cause the boom to fall, posing injury risks. Terex will inspect and replace bolts as needed at no cost.
- Outrigger drifting. Recall 15V512000 involves 386 vehicles with vertical cylinders and outriggers that may drift under load because of assembly defects. Drifting outriggers can cause the platform to fall, risking injury to occupants or bystanders. Dealers will install orifices and replace valves free of charge.
- Electrical socket breaker. Recall 17V320000 affects 58 vehicles where the GFPE breaker may fail to trip correctly during short circuits at the onboard electrical socket. The defective breaker increases the risk of electrical shock. Dealers will replace breakers with GFCI versions that trip properly, free of charge.
- Electrical system duplicate. The same recall number 17V320000 addresses both equipment and electrical system components regarding the breaker defect in the 58 affected vehicles. The remedy and risk details are identical to those above.
- Engine control software. Recall 17V321000 covers 444 vehicles with a hood-open switch that may incorrectly disable remote engine controls. This can prevent engine shutdown during hydraulic issues, potentially causing injuries. Dealers will reprogram software free of charge to correct this.
Owners faced with repeated repairs or unresolved recall issues involving safety defects may want to explore their rights under state lemon law protections. Assistance with legal options is available through consumer protection resources.

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.
