Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain model year 2011-2015 SCM48, SCM50, and SCM55 aerial devices manufactured August 24, 2011, to November 5, 2015. The affected vehicles have a leveling cylinder linkage that can be forced past its intended stop position, causing damage to, and failure of, the leveling system.
