Defect description
Terex South Dakota, Inc. (Terex) is recalling certain TLM aerial-device vehicles equipped with external holding valve blocks.

As a result, if the hose for the upper boom raise function should burst while at maximum load and maximum side reach, the boom may drift down.
Safety risk
Uncontrolled movement of the boom can increase the risk of an injury.
Manufacturer remedy
