Terex TM-Series Recall 20V103: Platform may tilt past safe limit, risking occupant falls

NHTSA campaign 20V103, reported February 24, 2020, 523 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The platform level limit switch on these bucket and boom trucks was installed upside down. As a result, it may not stop the platform from tilting once the platform level exceeds 15 degrees. If the switch fails to stop the tilt, a person standing on the platform could fall, which increases the risk of injury.

Terex will notify owners and dealers will properly reinstall the limit switch at no cost to you. Check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls and contact Terex customer service at 1-605-882-4000, referencing recall number SN681, if you have questions about this recall.
