The problem
Terex South Dakota (TSD) is recalling certain 2007-2016 vehicles equipped with Terex C4000, FC, HR, HRX, SCM, TC, TCX, TL, TPL, and XT aerial devices and digger derricks used for utility line work. In the event of a short circuit of a tool plugged into the onboard electrical socket, the GFPE breaker may not trip at the proper current before the user receives a shock.
The risk
Without proper protection against electrical shock, the user has a greater risk of injury.
The fix
TSD will notify owners, and dealers will replace the breakers with GFCI breakers that will trip at a lower current, free of charge. The recall began on June 27, 2017. Owners may contact TSD Customer Service Department at 1-800-982-8975. TSD's number for this recall is SN658.
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.
