What this recall means for you
A welding flaw may leave the guide bar that holds the pole guide arms weakly attached to the pole guide tilt bracket. Under load, the guide arm could fall while the vehicle is in use.
If the pole guide arm falls, it can strike anyone standing nearby, which raises the risk of serious injury to workers around the truck.
The repair is free. Terex will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the affected guide bars at no cost. The recall is expected to begin December 14, 2018. Owners can contact Terex at 1-605-882-4000, and should check their vehicle identification number (VIN) for any open recalls.
