Platform Leveling Cylinder Support Welds Failure

A platform that tips during use increases the risk of an injury.

 

NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V674

Manufacturer Terex South Dakota, Inc.

Components EQUIPMENT

Potential Number of Units Affected 194

 

Summary

Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain 2019-2022 TL80, TL80/112, and TL100 aerial devices. The welds for the platform leveling cylinder support bosses may crack, which can cause the cylinder support pin to fail and allow the platform to tip.

 

Remedy

Dealers will install reinforcement plates to the boom tip platform leveling cylinder bosses, and, all TL80/112 aerial devices will have the hydraulic storage latch for the elevator replaced, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 13, 2022. Owners may contact Terex’s customer service at 1-605-882-4000. Terex’s number for this recall is SN712.

 

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.nhtsa.gov.

 


Issue:

Terex model TL80, TL80/112, and TL100 aerial devices, produced from March 2019 through August 2022, may have the welds for the boom tip leveling cylinder support boss fail.  Once the welds fail, the cylinder base pin may flex repeatedly until it cracks, and it may fail.  Failure of the cylinder base pin may result in the platform tipping, causing the platform occupants to fall resulting in injury.

Chronology :

In May of 2020, Terex was notified that welds for the boom tip platform leveling cylinder support bosses cracked. The cylinder support pin was not cracked. Due to the construction of the weld joint, the bosses with cracked welds were held captive by the boom structure, preventing the platform from tipping.

An investigation began. Terex released Product Notice PN689 on 5/6/21 (reported as an External Communication in May of 2021) informing owners to inspect the welds and add additional welds. Production booms had the additional welds added in June of 2020.

Between 4/8/22 and 4/26/22, Terex was notified of 3 machines that had the additional welds crack. The boom tips for 2 of the machines were sent back to Terex for analysis.

On 5/10/22 Terex was notified of a machine that during an inspection it was discovered that the additional welds and cylinder retainment pin cracked, which could result in the platform tipping. Development and validation of a fix began at that time.

On 8/30/22, the list of affected units was determined. The decision to perform a recall was made on 9/1/22. To date, there have been 8 machines reported with the additional welds that have cracked. Out of the 8 machines, 7 are the TL80/112 model and 1 is the TL100 model.

The analysis of the issue has determined that the welds are cracking during road travel and on the TL80/112 units due to the current hydraulic latch for the elevator not properly tying down the machine during travel.

The decision was made to recall the TL80/112 machines requiring the boom tip platform leveling cylinder support bosses be reinforced with additional plates and the elevator be secured with a ratcheting hold down as soon as possible.

The TL80 & TL100 models do not have the elevator and have seen a very low failure rate. Out of an abundance of caution it was decided to recall the TL80 & TL100 models and have the reinforcement of the boom tip leveling cylinder bosses added at the next maintenance interval.
