What’s wrong with it?
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.
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.

- Which ones, by part or lot: the recall’s report on NHTSA’s site gives them where the maker did; this file gives part numbers only where its maker listed them.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
