Terex Aerial Devices Recall 17V320: Breaker may fail to trip, risking electric shock to users

What this recall means for you

Certain utility aerial devices and digger derricks may have a ground fault protection breaker that does not trip at the proper current if a tool plugged into the onboard electrical socket short-circuits. In that case, the user can receive an electric shock before the breaker cuts power.

Without proper protection against electrical shock, the user faces a greater risk of injury. Owners of affected equipment should take this seriously, especially operators who regularly use the onboard power socket.

The remedy is free of charge. Terex South Dakota will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the breakers with GFCI breakers that trip at a lower current. To check whether your equipment is covered, contact the TSD Customer Service Department at 1-800-982-8975 (recall number SN658), and check your VIN for open recalls.
