EquipmentAug 7, 2018 · NHTSA campaign 18V520000 · 101 vehicles

Problem: Terex south Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Terex C4000, C5000, C6000, and General digger derricks. The welds between the coupler and hex shaft may be undersized, causing them to fail and the auger to fall unexpectedly.

Risk: If the auger falls, it can increase the risk of injury to the user or bystanders.

Fix: Terex will notify owners, and dealers will either repair the weld or replace the affected component, free of charge. The recall began October 3, 2018. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-605-882-4000. Terex's number for this recall is SN665.

Suspension:front:springs:air suspension:springs/bagsMar 16, 2016 · NHTSA campaign 16V154000 · 131 vehicles

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.

Fix: 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.
