Problem Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain 2019-2020 TL80 and TL80/112 aerial devices. The installed slope indicator and decals incorrectly state that the chassis can be 5 degrees out of level for aerial device use. Risk If the aerial device is used with the chassis out of level it may result in an unstable condition which may cause the unit to tip, increasing the risk of injury to the operator and any bystanders. Fix Terex will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect slope indicator and decals, free of charge. The recall began May 12, 2020. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-605-882-4000. Terex's number for this recall is SN685.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. SN685 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. 20V240000 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.
