Fix Terex will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the lower boom to verify that it was made with the correct material. Any boom that was made with an improper material will be replaced, free of charge. The recall began on June 9, 2016. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-800-982-8975.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. SN618 is the number Terex assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 16V233000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
