Consequence: If the hood switch prevents the remote engine controls from shutting the vehicle engine down in the event of a hydraulic issue on the Aerial or Digger Derrick, it may increase the risk of an injury. (excerpt)

Remedy: TSD will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the vehicles to only disable the engine start function if the switch indicates that the hood is open, free of charge.

17V320000

Date: 2017-05-15. Systems: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT.

In the event of a short circuit of a tool plugged into the onboard electrical socket, the GFPE breaker may not trip at the proper current before the user receives a shock.

Consequence: Without proper protection against electrical shock, the user has a greater risk of injury.

Remedy: TSD will notify owners, and dealers will replace the breakers with GFCI breakers that will trip at a lower current, free of charge. The recall began on June 27, 2017. Owners may contact TSD Customer Service Department at 1-800-982-8975. TSD's number for this recall is SN658.

Defect: Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Aerial Devices and Digger Derrick trucks manufactured from June 3, 2013, through November 13, 2014. Due to an issue in assembly, the vertical cylinders and, by extension, the outriggers may drift when loaded.

Date: 2013-05-14. Systems: EQUIPMENT.

Defect: Terex is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Aerial Devices and Digger Derricks manufactured September 2012 through February 2013. The lock valve cavity in the outrigger cylinder may be machined incorrectly and the seals may be damaged.

Notes on this record

  • Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
  • System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
  • Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
  • A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
  • NHTSA's complaints API and bulk file list no complaint for this make, model and model year in this data build.
