The problem
Terex South Dakota (TSD) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 HR, HRX, TC, and TCX Aerial devices manufactured May 4, 2015, to June 15, 2016. The platform leveling cylinder on the affected vehicles may have poor welds, and as a result, platform leveling cylinder may fail at the elbow, allowing the platform to tilt.
The risk
If the platform tilts, the platform occupant may fall, increasing their risk of injury.

TSD will notify owners, and dealers will replace the hydraulic cylinders, free of charge. The recall began on August 22, 2016. Owners may contact TSD Customer Service Department at 1-800-982-8975. TSD's number for this recall is SN642.
