- Summary
- Terex South Dakota (TSD) is recalling certain 2012-2017 Digger Derricks and Aerial Devices, models C4000, C5000, C6000, C7000, General, HR, OM, RM,RMX, SC, SCM, TC, TCX, TL, TM, and XT, built on Freightliner chassis with SmartPlex engine controls. The vehicles have a switch to monitor whether the hood is open or not. If the switch thinks that the hood is open, the vehicle software may disable the Aerial or Digger Derrick remote engine control functions.
- Consequence
- If the hood switch prevents the remote engine controls from shutting the vehicle engine down in the event of a hydraulic issue on the Aerial or Digger Derrick, it may increase the risk of an injury.
- Remedy
- TSD will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the vehicles to only disable the engine start function if the switch indicates that the hood is open, free of charge. The recall began on June 28, 2017. Owners may contact TSD Customer Service Department at 1-800-982-8975. TSD's number for this recall is SN659.
- 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.safercar.gov.

Has your Terex been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Terex dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
