The problem
Terex is recalling certain model year 1997 through 2009 xt55 aerial devices mounted on trucks. These vehicles are used to elevate personnel to trim trees and for utility work while parked in the work area. Cracks can develop around the lower boom hinge pin boss at the turntable which can progress into failure of the plates if not detected.
The risk
Failure of the plates will cause unexpected motion of the boom and could cause the platform to fall, resulting in serious injury or death to a person standing on the platform.
The fix
Terex will notify owners and will repair the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall began on december 7, 2011. Owners may contact terex utilities warranty department at 1-605-884-3892.
