2018–2019 Terex Digger Derrick recall: electrical system
⚠️ What's wrong
Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain 2018-2019 C4045, C4047, C5050, and C7066 Digger Derrick vehicles. Due to an engine computer program error, if the hood switch fails or opens, the remote engine start/stop function becomes disabled.
💥 The risk
A disabled remote engine start/stop prevents the digger derrick operator from shutting the engine off during hydraulic issues on the digger, increasing the risk of injury.
🔧 The fix
Terex will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the engine computer program, free of charge. The recall began April 16, 2020. Owners may contact Terex customer service at 1-605-882-4000. Terex's number for this recall is SN682.
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.)
