Problem Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain 2008-2015 TLM37, TLM37P, TLM39, TLM41, TLM50, TLM55, and TLLM60 aerial devices manufactured June 18, 2008, to September 28, 2015. On the affected devices, both the boom tip leveling cylinder and the master cylinder at the elbow may make contact with the structural components, potentially damaging the boom tip leveling cylinder rod eye and the master cylinder rod eye. Risk Repeated contact may result in the rod eyes cracking. This cracking can lead to the failure of the boom tip leveling cylinder rod eye and the platform tilting unexpectedly which could cause the occupants to fall from the aerial platform, increasing their risk of injury. Fix Terex will notify owners, and dealers will modify the aerial devices to prevent the components from making contact. The recall began on April 11, 2016. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-800-982-8975. Terex's number for this recall is SN621.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. SN621 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. 16V118000 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.
