Terex South Dakota, Inc. is recalling 17 of its 2021-2023 TL48 trucks. The bolts used to mount the aerial lift device to the truck's sub-base may not have been tightened properly during assembly, which can lead to the bolts breaking. If the bolts fail, the aerial device could fall from the truck, potentially causing serious injury to those on or near the vehicle. Owners can have these bolts and washers replaced by a dealer at no cost.
The improperly tightened mounting bolts can fail under the stress of operation, causing the entire aerial lift structure to collapse or fall off the vehicle. This creates a severe risk of falling for any operator in the bucket and poses a crushing or impact hazard to bystanders.
Dealers will replace the mounting bolts and washers free of charge.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
