Terex South Dakota, Inc. is recalling approximately 3,015 pole position guide arm assembly pins (part number 450543) used on commercial trucks. A defective weld on the plate weldment can crack, causing the retaining pin to detach and the heavy guide arm to fall.

If the retaining pin separates due to a cracked weld, the pole guide arm can fall unexpectedly, which poses a significant risk of impact injuries to workers or bystanders near the vehicle.
You have 2 options:
Inspection of the plate weldment for cracks or abnormal welds.
Free replacement of the plate weldment.
