2007–2009 Terex XT55 recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
Terex is recalling certain model year 1997 through 2009 XT55 aerial devices mounted on trucks. These vehicles are used to elevate personnel to trim trees and for utility work while parked in the work area. Cracks CAN develop around the lower boom hinge pin boss at the turntable which CAN progress into failure of the plates if not detected.

Failure of the plates will cause unexpected motion of the boom and could cause the platform to fall, resulting in serious injury or death to a person standing on the platform.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
