What's wrong?
The lower control lever on 2009-2010 Terex TCP40 utility trucks is part of the equipment control system for the aerial lift. It is the hand control an operator uses to move the boom or bucket while positioning the lift for work. Under normal operation, the lever should stay centered unless the operator moves it, so the boom and bucket move only when commanded.
On affected TCP40 trucks, the lower control lever has a defect that allows movement the operator did not request. That defect breaks the link between the operator's hand command and the equipment response. The result is unintended movement of the boom or bucket, including movement when the operator expects the equipment to stay still.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on a noise, light, or gradual change in lever feel to tell you the control is failing.

What's the safety risk?
Unintended boom or bucket movement can injure the operator or people nearby. Keep clear of the boom path, avoid standing under or beside the bucket during operation, and take any unexpected movement as a reason to stop work and arrange service. Repair will be free at any franchised Terex dealer once available.

- Check your VIN to confirm your 2009-2010 Terex TCP40 is included in this recall.
- Contact Terex warranty at 1-605-884-3892 to confirm the current repair instructions before scheduling service.
- Reference recall number 11V301 when you call so Terex can match the truck to the lower-control-lever recall.

What happens at the repair
Terex instructed dealers to repair the affected TCP40 utility trucks free of charge after the safety recall began on June 30, 2011. At the dealer, a Terex technician repairs the lower control lever condition tied to unintended boom or bucket movement. The remedy notice does not name a replacement part or labor time, so schedule details come from the Terex service desk. Parts and labor are covered under the recall.
