2014 Terex TZ-50 recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Terex Aerial Work Platforms (Terex) is recalling certain model year 2014 TZ-50 trailer-mounted aerial work platforms. A process change in welding of the tubes may result in a crack in one of the welds on the extendable boom section. This could cause failure of the welds in that section.
💥 The risk
If the welding of the tubes crack, the aerial platform may fall, increasing the risk of injury to the individual on the platform or people around it.

Terex has notified owners, and dealers will replace the boom sections, free of charge. The recall began on March 14, 2014. Owners may contact Terex at 1-800-536-1800.
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.)
