What the defect is
Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain 2008-2015 TLM37, TLM37P, TLM39, TLM41, TLM50, TLM55, and TLLM60 aerial devices manufactured June 18, 2008, to September 28, 2015. On the affected devices, both the boom tip leveling cylinder and the master cylinder at the elbow may make contact with the structural components, potentially damaging the boom tip leveling cylinder rod eye and the master cylinder rod eye.
What could happen
Repeated contact may result in the rod eyes cracking. This cracking can lead to the failure of the boom tip leveling cylinder rod eye and the platform tilting unexpectedly which could cause the occupants to fall from the aerial platform, increasing their risk of injury.
What gets fixed
Terex will notify owners, and dealers will modify the aerial devices to prevent the components from making contact. The recall began on April 11, 2016.

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 29 February 2016.
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.
Additional notes
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.safercar.gov.
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.
