The manufacturer did not publish a build-date range for this recall, so the model and year list below is the only way to tell whether your vehicle is covered.
- Terex TC
What the defect is
Terex is recalling 1,167 tc series aerial devices equipped with check valve, p/n 443847, installed from september 2001 until march 2007. The valve is located on the lower boom lift cylinder. Failure can occur only when the vehicle is parked and the aerial device is in operation. The check valve is used in retiming of the boom when the platform is out of level. The flow through the check valve can cause the snap ring to fail if the retiming flow is abnormally high. The check valve components will flow into the lift cylinder if the snap ring fails.
What could happen
Debris may scratch the cylinder wall or get into holding valves and cause the platform to drift down slowly, which could possibly result in serious injury or death to the platform user.
What gets fixed
TEREX WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE CHECK VALVES FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON FEBRUARY 7, 2008.

Your rights
A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.
That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 25 January 2008.
To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle
This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.
A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
