2016–2021 Terex OM, Terex Optima Hrx, Terex Optima Tcx: Equipment recall

What's wrong

Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain 2016-2021 OM, Optima-HRX, and TCX aerial devices with dual platforms. The upper control stations' emergency stop controls may not stop all boom functions, resulting in unintended boom movement.

Why it matters

Unintended boom movement increases the risk of injury.

The fix

Dealers will install engine stop/start controls at both control stations, as necessary, and install placards, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 13, 2022. Owners may contact Terex's customer service at 1-605-882-4000. Terex's number for this recall is SN708.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
