- Problem
- Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 C5000, C6000, General 80, RMX, TM100, and TM125 aerial devices, and digger derrick lifts installed on trucks manufactured August 4, 2015, to February 16, 2016. The suspension circuit can inflate the suspension air bags on the affected vehicles if the Master/PTO switch or ignition is turned off in the cab while the boom is in the raised position. This can cause the frame to rise, lifting the outriggers from the ground.
- Risk
- If the outrigger lifts off the ground, causing instability of the truck, it can increase the risk of injury to the operator.
- Remedy
- Terex will notify owners, and dealers will install a second outrigger enable relay, free of charge. The recall began on April 29, 2016. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-800-982-8975. Terex's number for this recall is SN636.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
Certain aerial devices and digger derrick lifts built between August 2015 and February 2016 can have a wiring problem in the suspension circuit. If the Master/PTO switch or ignition is turned off in the cab while the boom is raised, the suspension air bags can inflate, causing the frame to rise and lift the outriggers off the ground.
When an outrigger leaves the ground, the truck becomes unstable, which increases the risk of injury to the operator.
Terex will notify owners, and authorized dealers will install a second outrigger enable relay at no cost to you. Owners can contact Terex customer service at 1-800-982-8975 with questions. You can also check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls.
