Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Terex South Dakota is recalling certain 2012-2017 Digger Derricks and Aerial Devices due to an electrical system issue. The affected vehicles have a hood switch that may incorrectly signal the hood is open, which can disable the remote engine control functions used to shut down the engine during a hydraulic emergency. This malfunction could increase the risk of injury.
To resolve this issue, authorized dealers will reprogram the vehicles at no cost to reprogram the system so the hood switch only disables the engine start function when the hood is actually open. Owners of affected vehicles should contact TSD Customer Service Department at 1-800-982-8975 and reference recall number SN659.
